Come and Bead-A-Long with me!
What better way to begin National Craft month then with a Bead-A-Long that celebrates the Carrier bead craze with these wonderful Czech glass beads! Sponsored by The BeadSmith.
Have you met the glass Carrier beads?
Well, I’m in love with them, and all the bazillion patterns and combos that can be created with them, and I want to spend the month of March playing with them and I’d love it if you came along too!
Starting from today you can watch a bumper Carrier Bead video and a series of free PDF files; you’ll be able to use them to make either a bracelet or a necklace (or both!). I’ll cover 2-color and 3-color patterns, even count and odd count peyote patterns, how to put the bracelets and necklaces together, and alternate ways to use the cool Carrier beads! (You can see why it’s going to take a whole month!)
I’ve created 5 companion kit colorways for those who prefer a kit to choosing their own colors, and they are now available for pre-order. They will ship out approximately March 1 or as fast as our bead elves can pack them. We’ll have new kits and Carrier Bead colors coming soon, so if we’ve sold out of the colors you want then don’t panic!
Are there any rules to taking part?
Nope just pick up some beads and join in the fun! Do you have to use a kit to participate? Heck no! Pick your own colors from the store or your stash and bead with us! Do you have to use Czech glass Carrier beads? Heck no! These same instructions will work for the Chinese plastic carrier beads too.
Please join the Jill Wiseman Designs Beaders Facebook group and/or the Seedbeaders group to share your Bead-A-Long designs with other Bead-A-Longers!
