Pre-painted box and pre-made crushed shell pincushion, along with all the threads, beads, buttons, fabrics and felt, with everything needed to make a cute accessory. Kit cost: $10. Students need to bring a battery operated light, scissors for paper and felt and tweezers would be helpful, but not required. See ASG July newsletter for photo.
Color Wheel Thread Box
A flat peyote beaded color wheel thread box designed and taught by Carol Wallin done in the round to fit the top of a small container. It holds a spool of beading thread, either Nymo or One-G. Kit includes everything you need to bead this container. You will need to bring your usual beading supplies and a battery operated light. See ASG June newsletter for photo.
Complimentary Card Making Class
Taught by Denise Hall. Everyone is invited to attend this class! Participants will receive kits to make two cards and a gift tag.
The “Not So Fine Print”: There will be 15 kits of each project available. All registrations received by July 6th will be treated as equal. If more than 15 people sign up for a class then it will go to lottery. We don’t anticipate this, but you never know! These classes are available to ASG members.
