Please join us for this beautiful Wine Bottle Windchime class.
Cost is $31.
This is a super fun class and very rewarding. All materials provided. Photos are of designs made in other classes. You’ll be able to pick from a variety of colored beads and sails (bottom piece).
I will give you a bird’s eye view of how to score and cut the wine bottles. However, the bottles will be cut prior to the class as that is a lengthy process requiring a stove.
You will have hands on instructions on how to smooth the edges and bead your beautiful creation!
No experience is needed, however, this will take some dexterity and a great pair of eyeglasses to complete the beading.
This class is appropriate for children age 10+ who are accompanied by a paid adult who will supervise (due to limited seating, will need to purchase 2 spots).
If you chose the pay by mail option, an email will be sent out 3 to 4 weeks prior with payment mailing instructions. Thank you!
