Beading in BK: Fun Times

Written by Bryce

If you’re thinking of how to save some cash for the holidays but still get your friends, sisters, or co-workers some cute jewelry you’ll definitely want to sign up for the “Earrings Level 1” class at the Brooklyn Bead Box.  When you sign up through Lifebooker.com it’s only $14 + the cost of beads (or you can bring your own).

Our suggestion?  Go rummaging through some funky thrift stores, buy $10 or $15 worth of vintage jewelry just to strip for the beads.  You’ll have more than enough to make 6 or 7 sets of earrings.  Total cost for 6 or 7 handmade jewelry gifts, about $30.

Can’t beat that!
