Sakura

Right-angle weave, herringbone stitch, and peyote stitch are all called upon to form this wildly textured bracelet that features a large sparkling crystal stone. The braid-like band is done with a very stealthy process, and the leaves add whimsy and color, all culminating in a stunning piece that’s a sure conversation-starter.

Intermediate-Advanced, 1 day class
