Belle Necklace Class

WHERE:   Paris Flea Market (Livermore)
When:      Thursday, August 14th and Thursday, September 18th
Time:       6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
 Cost:        $45.00

I saw a friend wearing a necklace like this, with a bell-like noise, and I fell in love with it!  I had to make one of my own, and now you can too.  In this class, you'll learn how to hand cut, drill and debur a vintage knife and transform it into a beautiful bell necklace, using a fork tine as the bell's clapper.  You can choose to embellish the face of your necklace with rhinestones, or keep it sophisticatedly simple with its gentle bell ring.  You'll go home with a beautiful, ready-to-wear, necklace.   A great gift for yourself, or for someone special!  Each class is limited to six students, so sign up early! 

All supplies are provided for this class.
