[Nfb-krafters-korner] Safety Pin beading

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Safety pin beading:
 
You use safety pins- different size safety pins.  There are different  
types and size beads that you put on the safety pins.  Then you with wire  
attach the safety pins together by wiring thru the bottom or top hole that is in  
the safety pins to create a 3 dimensional item. 
 
As Theresa gave you a list of different things made in the classes she has  
taught they do come out outstanding.  
 
We have booked in a beginner's class on Sunday afternoon April 14, so  
please watch for the class posting to the list so you can sign up for the  class.
 
Plastic beads are used which have a large enough hole in the bead to put  
the safety pin thru it.
 
Theresa's kits  are well organized.  The beads are in separate  bags 
according to size, color and shape/type of beads.  She labels it in  Braille and 
number [like 1, 2, 3 ][in case you don't read Braille]  She  sends you the 
directions via email so you have that information  accessible.  The kits 
include everything you need beads, safety pins,  wire,.
 
She will also send you a list of supplies if you want to purchase them on  
your own.The one thing you need is wire cutters which can be bought at your  
craft stores.
