Upscale Stretch Bracelets - beads not included!

About this event

This is an afternoon session starting at 12:00pm. Please note: simple glass beads for a practice bracelet are included in the class price, but the stone beads pictured are NOT. See below for more info.

Stretch bracelets are fantastic - easy to wear, easy to stack. Because the technique is so simple we usually run this as a $15-$20 class with basic materials. For the upscale bracelets, we want to offer more possibilities with better beads and help students create a bunch of gifts in a brief span.

$10 covers instruction, elastic and a handful of basic beads to make a practice bracelet. This will get students comfortable with the technique and the knot.

Want to make more bracelets? Choose from a selection of half-strands from Nomad's vast collection of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm beads. Prices run from about $7.50-$50.00 per strand, with most in the $16-$18 range, and half a strand is sufficient for a bracelet. We'll offer several options at different price points and will try to accommodate special requests.

These bracelets can be finished in several ways - by drilling out one bead to hide the knot for a seamless look, or with a contrasting bead in stone or metal. We'll have several options on offer.

The mala class we run at Nomad every month or so uses a similar concept, since everyone's got a different idea about how much they want to spend on materials. Come explore our selection and enjoy a technically easy class with some beautiful beads!
