Beading Progress

Today we learned how to get started with our beading projects. We used our patterns to decide what beads we need. We put the first 11 beads on the needle and learned how to thread them to attach them to the warp threads on the loom.

Next we gave it a go! We ran into our fair share of frustrations: a loom came unthreaded, some knots happened where we didn’t want them, beads fell off the thread, needles came undone, but all in all we made good progress, and we kept calm when things were challenging.

It’s pretty neat to see what progress can be made in one day. We look forward to continuing the progress tomorrow. If all goes well we can be finishing them up before the PA day on Friday.

Great work grade 9s!
