Design and make beautifully beaded jewelry with Tracey-Renee Hubbard, designer and founder of the vibrant accessories brand Scotchbonnet! She guides you through the process of developing a cohesive jewelry collection, beginning with the assembly of a mood board to find your aesthetic. Then, learn how to map out a beaded design on paper and prepare a Jewel Loom to weave your beads. Finally, Tracey-Renee demonstrates how to mount your beadwork to a brass cuff or barrette and show off your stylish new creation. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
For the mood board:
  • Foam board - Tracey-Renee uses one that is 24 x 18"
  • Push pins
  • Various images and materials that inspire you such as cut-out images and text from magazines, fabric swatches, paint swatches, souvenirs/ephemera, beads, natural elements
  • ​For the beaded cuff:
  • Size 11/0 seed beads in colors inspired by your mood board (Tracey-Renee uses black, white, orange, yellow, and purple)
  • Colored pencils to match your seed beads
  • Graph paper
  • Brass cuff (1/2" width)
  • Jewel Loom (comes with a needle)
  • Wildfire beading thread .006 inches - Tracey-Renee uses black but you can choose a color to complement your palette
  • Gorilla Super Glue Gel
  • Craft sticks or popsicle sticks
  • Tape measure
  • Bead scoop (optional)
  • Chain-nose pliers (optional)
  • Non-slip surface like a piece of felt to pour out beads (optional)

I have a loom, still in the box as I had no clue how to use it.  I had already done some patterns in a notebook of grid paper but now that I know how to put the thread on and attach the beads to it,  I can't wait to try it out!  Thank you for this!

This is an awesome complete project. It gave me complete knowledge to make this project, plus inspiration to know I can and I want to give it a try. The teacher has a pleasant voice, with enjoyment to keep my attention and listening. She makes it look very easy.
