Mission: Beading Express
We’ve designed these Beading Express projects to help you learn the fundamentals of beading and jewelry making by teaching basic techniques. These projects are not considered regular classes; therefore you may not be able to redeem a frequent class card towards them. Each project is timely and an excellent value.
Do you have beads at home? Then feel free to bring them to use in these projects; however our beads, string and findings are 10% off on the day of the class. We will also have kits available in different colors. If you want to choose your own beads, please arrive at least 15 minutes in advance. Beginners are welcome! Please bring your patience, glasses and positive energy to accomplish your beading mission!
All classes are $15 and 1 ½ hours long.
Caravan Beads Chicago is known for its top quality classes and personalized customer service. Classes are held in our brick and mortar shop at 3339 N Lincoln Avenue.
If you have a groupon coupon call us to register at 773 248-9555.
Japanese Delica Seed Beads are cylindrically shaped beads. Their holes are large and uniform. Consider using these beads in beadweaving - they work up like little tiles.
