Memory Wire Birthday Party Package


We are so excited to announce our newest package for girls ages 9 and up.  Our new memory wire consists of gold or silver plated memory wire, glass foil beads in every colour imaginable and silver and copper findings.

We love this package because the girls can get so creative with the colours that they use and the designs that they choose.

A popular bracelet that many girls have been making is a "frozen" bracelet, using different shades of blue, as with white and silver accents.

In this package children are taught the stringing technique.  The package includes beading materials for a memory wire bracelet, instructors for 75 minutes, beading princess tiara, invitations and elegant jewellery storage pouch. 
Purple, silver and blue bracelet

$18.00 per child. For 10 children or more, only $16.00 per child.

How to make a Bangle Bracelet



Materials:
20 gauge wire (appx 12 inches)
2 tube beads
1 focal beads
12-14 other beads depending on size of beads and width of your arm
1 clasp

Tools:
Round nosed pliers
Chain nosed pliers
Side cutters


With the weather so hot out, it's a great time to stay indoors and
make some beautiful jewellery to match all your summer dresses.

Lay out your design. Make a wire wrapped loop in your wire by making a
90 degree bend in your wire about 2 inches from one end of the wire,
then taking the 2 inch piece in your hand, wrap it around the base of
the bend to make a loop. Then using the chain nosed pliers wrap the
wire around several times (see video). Trip off the left over wire
using your side cutters. Now string your beads onto the wire
following the design that you laid out. Once you are finished
stringing the beads, make another 90 degree bend on the remaining end of the bracelet. Slip the clasp onto the wire and then wrap the wire around the base several times to make another loop.
