Byzantine: 200 rings in 18 gauge wire, 3.5mm inside diameter, and again, a coordinating clasp. They won’t need all of the rings unless they’re making a very large bracelet.

Kriss Self - Trumpet Flower and Color Graduation 4 colors of size 11 ROUND seed beads...one
being green for the leaves ) can use color gradation in the leaves if they wish, and the other three need to be a dark, medium, and light shade
of whatever color they choose. The 15's should be a complementary or contrast color. Whichever is your preference. A mix of all three of the colors of 11's
is also pretty. It really doesn't matter, just keep in mind the size 15 will be the crowning glory of the flower. MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH NDEBELE, PEYOTE, AND NETTING!

Jane Brown's Rooster Pin Class supplies.
I counted a minimum of 25 different color/type of beads in
my rooster. You may choose more or
less. I also used size 11 and
short bugles – Japanese or Czech.
Although most of mine seem to be Czech. Don’t know why you can’t use 14’s or 15’s. Think of the iridescence in a rooster’s
feathers & the colors you’d see there.
For a needle you may use either beading or sharps
needles. Size is determined by the
size of your beads.
For thread, either Nymo or Fireline 4 lb.
Thread conditioner.
Blue disappearing fabric marker. Or pencil & eraser.
Beading surface.
Suede or Ultrasuede for backing.
At least 1.5” pin back.
The base will be Lacy’s Stiff Stuff.
I will have some that you can buy. Or
bring your own.

Buttons
Class supplies:
- Button form – available as a Cover Button Kit (the metal dome-shaped
button tops with snap on backs, usually with two buttons in the kit)– available
at Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s, Etc. I
use the 1 ½ inch size most often.
- A piece of fabric to go over the form – not too think as the back
pieces will not snap into place and seal if the fabric is too thick. (I will
bring some fabric to class to use if you need it)
- A variety of 2-8 mm.
focal or accent beads, including flowers, cubes, bicones, bugle beads, chips,
rondelles, pearls, sequins, small charms, etc.
- Size 6, 8,
11, and 15 seed beads
- Beading thread and needle (I find the stiffness of a size 10 works
well except when going thru some pearls).
