[Nfb-krafters-korner] New Class: Macrame--Beaded Belt

[qubit]

Hi all -- I want to add that there are 3 thicknesses of macrame cord sold at 
the macramesuperstore.com -- 2mm, 4mm and 6mm.  I recommend a thicker cord 
for the first belt and a medium or a thin width on the second belt.  Also, 
you are of course free to be creative on what shapes of beads you want on 
your belt, with the one exception that round beads are required on the 
second belt. The first belt only uses beads at the end points of the belt. 
The second belt has beads all the way through.  So you should buy more beads 
for the second belt -- perhaps 2 or 3 packages.  Since you are dealing with 
a thinner cord on the second belt, I recommend the smallest bead there --  
the 12mm with the 4mm hole.
There appears to be a large selection of cord, but not many selections of 
beads. The only beads are wooden beads, which I find a bit disappointing, 
but it's better than none at all!

There are some awfully cute sounding kits there too.  I don't have time to 
fuss with them, but they remind me of my "craftier" days.
(Obviously I just made my cord order.  If you haven't ordered your cord yet, 
you should probably do it today. The class is a week from Thursday.)

Happy krafting all!

If you are going to do one or both of these belt classes order your
supplies together so you will be set to go!
