Using a morse
code chart (see below) lay out the beads in the word that you would
like to put in your necklace. In the video, the word love is being
spelled out.
If using silk cord, attach the clasp to one
end of silk cord using the crimp bead and pliers, then string on your
beads spelling out the word that you are putting on your necklace (see
video). Then attach the other end of your clasp (the ring).
If
you are using tiger tail, attach the clasp to one end of the tiger tail
and then fill up with seed beads in a clear colour until your necklace
is 1/4 full of beads, then string on the word in morse
code, then fill up the other side with clear beads. If your word is
short, you may need to do more clear seed beads before and after your
word. Once you have filled up the other side, attach the other side of
your clasp (the ring).
We hope you enjoyed making this necklace as much as we did.
Our busiest time of year is always in April, when we make beautiful glass pearl necklaces as Mother's Day jewelry gifts with schools, Girl Guide groups, or adult parties where the moms make their own gifts.
We have been receiving requests already to book these events, which always makes as us happy because it means that spring is coming!
How do these Mother's Day events work? We attend at the school or Girl Guide group to assist the children in making
beautiful glass pearl necklaces with a silver plated heart clasp as a Mother’s
Day gift.
We bring a variety of colours and teach the children several
different patterns to ensure that each necklace is beautiful and unique.
We generally come in and do all the primary grades in one day,
each workshop is 45 minutes in length.We provide each child with a special organza bag along with the finished
necklace.
The cost is $10 per child.
Glass Pearl Necklace
We have been providing this workshop at schools all over the
Greater Toronto Area for the past 5 years.
We cannot wait to get started on all these necklaces!
