Is it art, craft, or hardware? Crochet a unique necklace that spans all three using nontraditional materials: wire and beads! In this statement necklace, you will play with color and texture so that the mixture of acrylic beads, semi-precious stones and glass beads come into harmony in the final design.
You'll crochet wire using the basic chain and single crochet stitches. The closure is a lacey, non-conventional strand with no clasp. This unique closure distributes the weight of the necklace so that you can hardly feel it hanging around your neck.
Beads used include a combination of semi-precious stones, vintage beads and handmade glass beads. Crochet Wire of both 26 and 28 gauges are used.
Skill Level:
Student must have experience with chain stitch and single crochet stitch.
Student Supplies: None
Homework: None
Materials Fee: $20, includes all materials, including wire and beads, needed for a complete necklace. Aluminum crochet hooks and jewelry wire cutters are also provided for use during the class, as you will not want to scratch your own crochet hooks when working with the wire.
