In case you are thinking what to make for your loved ones this Christmas, here are some of my favourite projects (not in any order of preference) that can be completed in a relatively short time. If you are not sure what colour seed beads to use, stick to Gold or Silver for a timeless look.
Tiffany Earrings : Simple peyote stitched bezels around the beautiful Swarovski Crystal rivolis.
Rivoli Necklace : Similar technique to the Tiffany Earrings. Simply string on the bezeled rivoli onto a sterling silver chain.
Golden Corals Necklace : Our latest class project may seem to take forever to complete, but you will be surprised how quickly you can create the necklace. If you do not wish to create the necklace chain, simply create a bail after the leaf is completed and hung onto a neckwire or sterling silver chain.
Pearly Ring : Peyote band embellished with Swarovski Crystals and Pearls. The downside of this project is that you have to know the recipient’s ring size.
Embroidered Ring : Embroider a cabochon with different coloured seed beads and sealed it onto an adjustable ring base.
Bollywood Cuff : For a dressier look, our Bollywood Cuff with Swarovski Crystals is sure to dazzle this season. Our students have tried using different materials (pearls, gemstones, etc) and they all look fabulous!

Leafy Earrings : Another simple peyote project to bring nature to your wardrobe.
Disc Earrings : Using brick stitch to create groovy disc earrings.
Freeform Peyote Cuff : This is a great project to use up your left-over beads to create an abstract bracelet band.
Vintage Glass Necklace : This project does take more time than the others but it’s my all time favourite! The necklace is made with tubular netting stitch and glass cabochon embroidered.
