[back to quicklinks]
$ 70 Plus $10 materials fee

These flowers will never wilt. Learn how to make these cute and unique flowers that can either be used as pendent for a necklace or add a stem and stick them in an old glass bottle to place on your desk. In this class you will learn basic soldering skills that will help you create one or a whole garden full of flowers. Imagine the possibilities.

Supply List: 

• Beads. Preferably in the shape of a flower petal or similar. They must be either top drilled or drilled through long ways.
•  Wire.  Tinned copper works well.  The gauge you use depends on your beads.  As long as it will fit through the holes on the bead and can be soldered.
• Art or a picture to glue to your glass bubble.
• Wire cutters
• Scissors
• Needle Nose Pliers
• Diamond Glaze
• Cutting Pad or work surface to protect the tables
• Paper towels

Optional items or suggestions to enhance the class project: Soldering Iron and stands. I will bring a few with me, but if you would prefer not to wait your turn, then please bring one with you.  Extension Cords for Soldering Irons
