ancient societies. Beads have been used for decorations, social statues, and even
currency. Still used in jewelry and embellishments, beads still play a vital role in our lives.

Introduction to Beaded Jewelry is a great starting point for new beaders. Topics that will
be covered include: choosing the correct cording for which projects; choosing beads;
getting the correct tools; findings; as well as basic color theory & design. Students will
learn to construct and properly finish a straight strung bracelet using crimp beads, and

entirely covered in beads such as a bracelet or necklace. The beads that actually hold
everything together are called Crimp Beads or Crimp Tubes.
