Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with a new To-Go Craft Kit: Indigenous Loop Earrings with Sister Beads!

Grab a kit containing supplies and instructions from us and learn how to create simple 3-loop beaded earrings in blue or black along with the fire colors.

Watch this instructional video that will walk you through the steps, featuring Tawny Cale: https://youtu.be/BHxU0jI_L7c.

This program will be available as long as supplies last.
