Peek-a-Boo Bracelet Class

Nan Card - Instructor Bio

Nan Card started taking formal beading classes around 2010 before I moved to New Mexico. I learned some bead embroidery and bead weaving doing small projects such as earrings and bracelets. My sister and I retired from our jobs in the Washington, DC area and moved to NM in 2012. I joined three organizations that beaded, including BSNM, and took more classes and learned a lot more about beading. It has become my favorite craft and now I enjoy passing on my knowledge in beading to other people.

Class Description:

This bracelet is made using Right Angle Weave and top-level construction.  Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate.

Students should bring:

• Two colors of 8mm beads or 6mm beads. They can be pearls, stones, or crystals; just don't mix the sizes! You will need twice as many in one color and half that in the second color. Estimated number of beads for 7” bracelet: 8mm about 28 or 6mm about 38.
• Two colors of size 11 seed beads. The lesser bead count color will edge the 8mm/6mm layer, the greater bead count color will be used on the upper layer.
• One color of 4mm bicones or fire polish beads to go down the upper layer of the bracelet.  Estimated number of bicones or fire polish beads: 13-17.
• Your favorite clasp (as you can see, I like toggle clasps)
• Fireline or other beading thread you like to use
• Other general beading supplies: bead mat, scissors, battery-operated light, magnification, anything else you like to have with you when beading.
