Beaded Keepsake Box
by Jeanne Leffingwell

In this fun 3-session class you will not only learn Jeanne Leffingwell's excellent methods for weaving with beads on a loom, but you will create a one-of-a-kind beaded treasure box. At the first session, you will assemble your loom and learn to weave. At the 2nd and 3rd sessions, you will weave, and finish your box top. Plan for some weaving time at home in between sessions. Then, once completed, you will have not only a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gift or keepsake, but a beadloom and the knowledge and desire to keep on beadin'!.

Parent-and-child partners encouraged, minors 10 & up welcome; beading experience helpful, but not necessary.
