CHARM BAR – BUILD YOUR OWN BRACELET OR BAG CHARM

Choose your beads, build your sequence, and finish something you’ll wear all weekend and beyond!

In this session, you’ll make either a beaded bracelet or a bag charm using a mix of recycled beads, handmade charms, and one-off pieces. You can keep it simple and graphic, or layer up textures, colours, and details to create something more intricate.

You’ll be shown how to string beads securely, work with wire, and attach findings so your piece feels properly finished. You’ll get a real sense of accomplishment from getting the little details right and seeing everything come together.

Start with a loose idea or none at all – you’ll shape it as you go, with support throughout. By the end, you’ll have something you’ll wear straight away or clip onto your bag for the rest of the weekend.
