Turkish Delight Bracelet
Saturday, November 16, 2013 from 2:00 pm-4:45 pm

Using a bead crochet stitch that I learned in Turkey,
this sparkly bracelet is for the beader who wants to go
beyond the standard tubular bead crochet and work
with loops of beads. Students will learn how to string
beads in a pattern and crochet the Turkish Loops stitch
in the round. Once the bead crochet is done, students will
make a button and loop closure and embellish the loop with
peyote stitch or needle-woven flowers and leaves. Bead
crochet experience is helpful.

Kit fee: $35
Kit Includes: over 150 4mm, Czech, fire-polished beads,

Students to bring: scissors, bead mat, task light (optional),
magnifiers (optional) if you have trouble working with small
beads.
