BEAD EMBROIDERY PROJECT

This workshop will focus on troubleshooting and finishing your fun Patch necklace.
You will learn two bead backstitches and clean edge embroidery techniques. Connect your three finished patches into a necklace, and voila – a gift for yourself or another. Your kit contains all you need to make the necklace EXCEPT beading needle, threads and glue. Comes with 8.5×11″ full color instructions in addition to the classroom instruction.
