SUMMARY:Right Angle Weave w/Peanuts $40
DESCRIPTION:It’s amazing how different a stitch can look by just changing the type of beads you use! This is the basic right angle weave stitch using peanut beads (farfalle\, berry beads\, etc.) and firepolished beads. You have to look hard to recognize the stitch. Make it a single or double wrap and make it into a necklace! Your choice! \n\n\n\nKit Fee: The kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class. \n\n\n\nNote: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop.

SUMMARY:Cold Connection Blue Copper Earrings $100

SUMMARY:Prismatic Right Angle Weave Bangle $40

Learn how to do prismatic right angle weave while making this cute and fairly quick bangle!
