Chocolate Week: Free Wire Working Workshop

On Thursday, Feb. 10, Just Bead It had its first Chocolate Week event: Free Wire Working Workshop. It was a great turn out with ladies of all ages eager to learn wire working.





As they learned about the different tools and supplies, they enjoyed a cup of hot cocoa and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

During the workshop, they learned how to make wrapped loops and practiced a couple times on plated wire before they began designing their earrings. They chose from an assortment of glass heart beads and size 6/0 beads, and quickly put their new wire working skills to the test.

They were excited to wear their new pair of earrings and some even planned to give them as gifts. Afterwards, they decided to do some shopping to pick up supplies for their new hobby with a 20% discount!

All of the ladies enjoyed themselves and some signed up for our next Free Workshop on Thursday, Feb, 19 (Beaded Purse).
