You will also learn how to use wire and bead caps to create a secure finish to your braid.

There will be homework assigned for this project.

Students will need to load the beads for the first section and complete the braiding for this section prior to class.

If you have a Marudai (a traditional Japanese braiding stand) I will show you how to adapt the braiding instructions.
