#bead classes

  Introducing a New Class at Fandangle Bead Store:  The "Egyptian Coil" Bracelet.   Cleopatra would have been first in line to wear this bracelet which could also be made using mixed metal wires such as brass, copper and silver German wire--or, if color if your forte', perhaps a variety of Artistic wire colors such as teals, purples, golds or bronze?  $65 includes 3 hrs of instruction and all materials.  Call 327.9992 to reserve your seat in this class today.

    Join the Queen of Wire-Wrapping, Denise Galloway, at Fandangle Bead Store this coming Saturday, Nov. l9th, 10-l:00 for our "Intro to Wire Working Class".  With the soaring silver prices, basic wire wrapping skills can save you buckets of dollars (ie, more dollars for beads!).  You will learn how to make a variety of commonly used findings including earwires, hook & eye closures, eyepins, and a smattering of fancy wraps.  $65 includes 3 hrs of instruction plus all materials.

  Head's Up, Everyone!  Our deadline of November 22nd is 10 days away!  That's right, 10 days.  Fandangle Bead Store's "Beaded Holiday Bling" contest is fast approaching and all entries need to be delivered to the shop by Tuesday, November 22nd at closing.  If you have issues taking a .jpeg photo of your work, don't worry we can help you with that.  For details, click on the following link:   http://fandanglebeadstore.com/2011/11/3-weeks-to-submit-entries-to-fandangles-beading-contest/

Jane Stark will be teaching her "Waltzing M'Tila" Bracelet this Saturday and yes, there's still room for a couple more students.  Jane uses Miyuki's newest bead, a double-drilled "Tila" as the focal bead in this simple herringbone stitch bracelet.   Call 327.9222 to reserve your seat in this limited-seating class.  $65 incl. 3 hrs instruction & all materials.

  Check out these tubular bead crochet samples!  The combinations are endless--all you have to do is vary the size, shape or texture of the seed beads.  You can snug up the ends and stitch them together, finish them off with decorative bead caps, or place a focal bead (or three) in the center of the bracelet.  Keep on going and you have a beautiful rope necklace.

Fandangle Bead Store's Newest Instructor, Joan Bender, teaching her first bead class, the "Leather Beaded Bracelet" (one of our most popular jewelry making classes).

      Fandangle Bead Store just received a new line of self-adhering clip art from one of our favorite lines, "Vintaj".   These new clip art inserts are perfect compliments for your resin jewelry making projects (think holiday gifts!).   We also sell the blanks that match these exact picture sizes--no more measuring and 'guess-timating".  Additionally, we carry a huge variety of matching Vintaj components and findings to lend a cohesive and polished look to your beaded creations.   And guess what???   There's still room in our resin class this Saturday, 1:30-4:30.  Call 327.9992 now to reserve your seat.  $65 includes 3 hours of instruction AND all your materials! 

    Fandangle Bead Store just received a new shipment of "Vintaj" components, chain and pendant.  This is our best selling line of base metal "vintage'esque".  Best of all, you do NOT have to polish this line but it comes it is nickle-free, high quality and adds a touch of whimsy to all your beaded creations.  Best of all, Vintaj has added a gunmetal patina to its collection, so we now carry gunmetal pendants, matching chain and components--no more liver of sulfur patinas!
