Basic Bead Crochet
Materials:
Size 6/0 seed beads in 4 or 5 distinct colors
1 spool C-lon thread
Size 4 crochet hook
1 foam core piece (can be picked up from store prior to class)
Basic Bead Crochet PreWork
Pre-work (must be done before class time)
Using the c-lon thread, wrap around the foam core piece a minimum of 100 times. This is approximately 50 feet of workable thread. Next, string beads on the thread in desired order. Order is whatever is pleasing to student’s design. The order strung will correspond to the order crocheted. Remain consistent with order chosen, as this is what creates the spiraling of each color in the design.
Example: For the sample pictured above, pre-work was strung was 1 each of clear, orange, purple, gold, and continued in this same pattern.
Cost: $50 for both sessions plus materials
