Great Bead Extravaganza Jewelry Tutorial - Cozy Mountain Necklace And Lariat Necklace
Kristen and Sara enjoyed an hour of jewelry making for our Great Bead Extravaganza segment. They began the video with a look at the Cozy Mountain Retreat Design Kit (Sold Out) that we created for the big show. The kit has sold out, but you can get an idea what to expect when you purchase a kit from us. After showing off the beading supplies we include in our kits, they both made wonderful necklaces.
This beading tutorial was quite the adventure. If you love a safe symmetrical design and enjoy pairing like beads with like beads, this demonstration will show you how to create a pleasing pattern that is asymmetrical but still amazing. Break the rules! Kristen's design is absolutely gorgeous. She paired beads at parts of the necklace, but left the rest free flowing and unconventional.

Sara showed us how to make a lariat that is also asymmetrical. Don't be afraid to mix and match bead colors and shapes - you can always restring a piece that does not please you. If you only ever create symmetrical jewelry, you will never really let your creativity blossom! This lovely lariat would make a great gift for Galentine's Day. Give your best friend a necklace she will love!
