Introduction to:

Thread Crochet Bear Making

Don't miss the opportunity to take the next class from
Award-Winning thread bear artist, Berta Hesen-Minten (ThReAdTeDs®) all the way from the Netherlands!

Berta is traveling to the USA to teach in several States, because she loves to take part in teddy bear shows and is teaching at the Indianapolis workshop on Saturday.

Project

"Bear Head Beads", Crocheted "Beads" in the form of a bear heads which can be finished into multiple items: a necklace, a key chain, a phone strap, or dangling from your purse or your iPod®. Use between other beads in
bead work, just let your imagination flow!

The "bead" will be worked with DMC Perle cotton #5 (provided in the kit) and crochet hook 1.00 mm.

Berta also teaches some simple knots, to give the plain cord where the bead is hanging a very special look.
