Class Description

In this class we will construct a lovely multi-layer bracelet using

  • A center strip of Japanese 12-in-2 chain mail made with aluminum jump rings and
  • Two rows of Preciosa bicone crystals strung on beading wire to give the bracelet extra sparkle.

Japanese 12-in-2 is considered a beginner’s weave, however, I’m setting the experience level to Beginner+ due to the smaller rings used in this project. Prior chain mail and bead stringing experience is helpful but not required.
