DIY Paper Beads Craft Workshop

Paper beads are a fun and creative way to upcycle magazines into something that is both functional and meaningful. In this class, you will learn how to turn a piece of colorful paper into a piece of unique jewelry or a keychain, gaining the knowledge necessary to easily repeat the process at home if desired. No artistic skills are necessary, as you will be guided through the bead-making process step-by-step in a way that encourages play, connection, and relaxation. All materials will be supplied by instructor. Just come to class and spend a relaxing couple of hours making something beautiful to take home. This is a lovely, low-stress way to spend time with friends and family over the holidays! Class size is limited to 10 students, and we'll meet in the classroom at the Columbus Garden School.
