Wire Working Pattern
Original price was: $6.99.$5.59Current price is: $5.59.
With this wire working pattern, you’ll learn how to make our “Tin Cup Collection”, featuring a necklace popularly known as a “Station” necklace, a “floating” necklace, and most recently, a “Tin Cup” necklace (as popularized by the 1996 movie Tin Cup in which Rene Russo wore a version of this necklace with widely spaced pearls). We were inspired to make this necklace when we saw one worn by a well-known female political figure. Her necklace looked very feminine and classy, without too much frill, and, it offered just the right “something” to set off her outfit without being too overpowering. It’s the perfect necklace that goes with and dresses up virtually anything. Make one up in either satiny pearls or sparkling crystals for those special occasions when you want to add a touch of class and sparkle to your wardrobe. This is a great pattern for beginner beaders or beginners to wire wrapping.
