Jeweler Badge

Tonight, we had a special guest teach our Girl Scouts how to make bracelets as part of their Jeweler Badge.  The girls learned how to choose one special bead to be the focal point and then how to choose beads to accent it. They learned to keep their beads/string on the table as they worked so they didn't drop the ends and lose their beads.  When they finished beading, we tied the ends, and our guest put a special clamping bead over the knots so they didn't unravel.  The girls made bracelets for themselves and one for their mothers for Mother's Day.  They were so excited, and their bracelets looked great.  Now they can make necklaces too.
