Sparkling Swarovski Bracelet: Saturday 19th February 1:00pm - 4:00 pm


Designed by Gil Baird and unique to the Little Bead Shop, this gorgeous, glittering, spiral weave bracelet will certainly make a statement.

Made with seed beads and swarovski crystals, this stunning bracelet drapes beautifully on the wrist and is a really rewarding piece of jewellery to make.

Previously Gil had taught this design as a necklace, which students are more than welcome to come and make instead, but please be aware that a necklace would take much longer than the duration of the class, would certainly need to be finished off at home, and extra beads would be required. We would anticipate that most students choosing to make the bracelet will complete or be close to completing the bracelet in class.

The class is suitable for beginners and will be held on Staurday 19th February from 1pm - 4pm. Price includes tuition, all threads, findings but excludes your beads.

For more information or to book your place, please pop in to see us, visit our website or call us on 0131 228 5058.

Come and learn how to make this stunning dagger bead and swarvoski crystal bracelet.

If you are new to bead weaving no need to worry, this class is suitable for beginners and we will be there to help you at every step. You will be given full instructions for you to take home with you as you may not finish the bracelet in the three hour class.

This fantastic class takes place on Sunday 6th February from 1pm - 4pm and costs just £20, which includes tuition, all threads and findings but excludes the cost of your beads.
