Upcycled Jewelry Framed Designs!
This is a beginner class that will be using upcycled costume jewelry. We will be creating a design with the jewelry, for example a fall floral bouquet, swag or a fall tree design that we will be gluing into a 5”x7” picture frame. All supplies will be provided for this class. You will have several assorted picture frames and jewelry pieces to choose from. All pieces will be unique and no two persons’ finished product will look the same. Students are welcome to bring in their own frame or jewelry if they have a piece they would like to incorporate into their design. We will be using E6000 glue which does have a strong smell that might bother some people.
