Beads necklace / bracelet

During the previous school holidays, my daughters learned how to make beads necklace from their grandmother. They did a few simple pattern necklaces. I think it's quite an art for children especially girls to learn and can be an hobby too. It is also a great gift for friends.

Here is Alyssa making a necklace for her friend, Natalie.

Checking on various websites, you can find many helpful tips and what more many patterns we can follow. I think beads making requires little skill (for simple pattern) but a lot of patience and concentration.

Here are some necklaces Alyssa and Hannah did.....some by my mother-in-law.

For beginners....materials needed are tigertail (wire), beads and barrel clasp screw. Now should I get some materials for them? Maybe during the long school break end of the year.
