Beading fundamentals—from wire-wrapping to textile stitches
This course teaches three core beading disciplines: working with jewelry wire and findings (eye pins, bead links, wire-wrapped loops), stringing (crimping, elastic bracelets, floating necklaces), and bead weaving stitches (Right-Angle Weave, Ladder Stitch, flower variations).
You'll start with materials—an overview of bead types, wires, tools, and where to source them—then move to hands-on practice with crystal beads, glass pearls, and seed beads. Each section builds foundation skills before introducing variations. The result is three finished jewelry pieces and reusable techniques for creating your own designs. A practical entry point for beginners interested in handmade jewelry as hobby or small business.
