Change to October Class:

Note from MarjorieH

OCTOBER BEADED BRACLET CLASSmaterials update:

Please bring size 6 beads for the class. Size 6 beads were used for the models.
I'd originally planned on size 8 beads but found they were too hard to locate so I redid the models in size 6 but then forgot to change the materials list. I apologize.

Also, don't worry about bringing beading thread. I've learned that's also too hard to find and I'll bring Nymo in a selection of colors. It doesn't take much and we can share.

Thanks! Marjorie
