3rd stitch for my next class.

Road trip this weekend so I wanted something simple. Finally got around to making stretch bracelets for myself. What are you working on?

So I want to take a class at a bead store. The necklace has 3 different stitches. Twisted herringbone, feel lace (netting) and tubular chenille. They have pre requisites and purchasing supplies in store with 20% off. Long story short 4 classes each of the first 3 classes makes a bracelet per stitch and the 4th one is a combination of all 3 stitches in a necklace. Here are my first 2 bracelets. And the beginning of my 3rd one.

I have a general question. I been buy gently used beads and jewelry and taking the jewelry apart and reusing them in something new. my question is I have those pretty beads that are on strings and I want to take them off the string and make something new with them how in the heck can I get them off the strings without damaging the beads. I have been soaking them in hot soapy water it worked on some but not all. any suggestions?

I got in an earring mood this weekend, and 100degrees plus is too hot to do anything outside. So, here’s the results. Turquoise is to match a bracelet I made and 2nd is our HS mascot colors (Miami wardogs)
