Beading for Boys
By Jean Campbell


1) Why do we insist on Beading for Boys?

  • We enjoy it
  • We want to share the love
  • It’s what we do.

2) Beading for Boys is different than Beading for Girls.

  • Colors
  • Stringing materials
  • Beads
  • Findings

3) Design for your man.

  • Is he an outdoors type? Macho? Cosmopolitan?
  • Is he hard on things or gentle?
  • Not a jewelry-wearer? Make a keychain, zipper pull, rosary, bookmark.

4) Techniques

  • If doing off-loom, reinforce, reinforce, reinforce!
  • Make clasps easy to open.
  • Knotting
  • Wirework/chain
