Taught by Liz Smith
In this class, beading expert Liz will show you how to make a chic, versatile necklace that can be worn in any direction. The necklace begins with a beautiful bead-weaving section, comprised of both twisted spiral stitch and herringbone stitch with silver and gold beads. After the bead-weaving is complete, gold and silver chains are attached, and the necklace is finished with decorative clasps. You can make the necklace short or long, in vibrant colors or metallic hues—the choice is up to you. It's easy to customize, fun to make, and even more fun to wear.

I really enjoy the way Liz repeats steps so I can get the beading rhythm in my head too.

Liz is brilliant! She gives great instructions and the camera work is spot on so that you can see exactly what she is doing.

Very pretty necklace with a lot of options to create unique variations. This piece is so versatile! I love that it can be worn as one long strand or can be doubled up to create a layered, multi-strand necklace. Additionally, just learning the herringbone twist & the spiral beading techniques will be valuable for incorporating into any other beaded pieces that you make.
