Kits for Beanile Tatting at IOLI 2019 – $58 or $55 for all 4 projects

It’s time to choose the colors, threads and beads for the above class projects so I can make the kits for you! The difference in price depends on your choice of large bead in the bracelet set – freshwater pearls or oval glass. See below.

For each student buying project kits, I will make a single envelope with all of the single project kits for that student together with patterns and twisted wire beading needles. Students will pick up and pay for their envelope at Provencher Enterprises’ table before the first class.

For those who might like to string their own (must be done before class), I have included thread and bead amounts below.

Note for choices: For each project, I am assuming the thread and findings should be the same color. If you want them to differ, please specify.

1. Snowflake

Kits will be made to match the sample with size 20 thread in ecru and size 11/0 blue/purple iris single cut seed beads. No color choice needed.

Cotton thread: about 4 yards
Seed beads: 140 in a size suitable for the thread

2. Angel Earrings

15/0 seed beads: 360 needed.
Thread and findings: 3 yards DMC Fil Metalise’ or DMC Diamante and 2 ear hooks needed.

Choices:

gold seed beads on gold thread

silver-lined clear on silver thread

3. Bracelet and Earring Set

Please specify your bead colors along with the thread/clasp/hook color of either gold or silver.

First photo has FW mauve and light purple seed beads on silver; the 2nd one has a finished bracelet in OG turquoise with clear dark blue green beads on gold along with strings of cream, eggplant and medium purple.

4mm Freshwater pearls or oval glass beads: 25 needed
(note: my oval glass are 6x4mm and we modify the pattern slightly)
11/0 Seed beads: 270 needed
Thread and findings: 6.5 yards DMC Fil Metalise or DMC Diamante, a clasp with jump rings and 2 ear hooks

Large Bead Choices: Freshwater Pearl (FW) or Oval Glass (OG) in the colors below. Don’t forget to pick silver or gold for your thread/clasp color!

FW white with clear silver lined seed beads

OG turquoise with clear dark blue green seed beads

OG cream with cream opaque seed beads

OG eggplant with dark or light purple silver lined seed beads (state preference)

OG medium purple with dark or light purple silver lined seed beads (state preference)

4. Pendant Pouch Necklace

Please specify the bead and thread/clasp color.

11/0 Seed beads: about 850 needed
Thread and findings: 12 yards DMC Fil Metalise’ or DMC Diamante plus a clasp and jump rings or 2 lobster claws and jump rings

Bead Choices:

Dark Purple silver lined

Royal Blue silver lined

Blue silver lined (kind of electric blue)

Green silver lined (Kelly green type)

Garnet/red silver lined (dark red)

We can talk about other colors for these as I do have a few others in my stash. However, I have found that light colors do not look as nice in this pouch (beading loses definition)

If you know right away which clasp treatment you prefer (behind the neck or lobster claws to each side of the pouch), please specify. I’ll have both available in class.

I’m looking forward to seeing you in July!
