	Diane Cook	$145

Student Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
Prerequisite: None

Cuffs are so easy to just slip on and go. So….what do you say? Let’s make some that are over the top, and dripping with your favorite gemstones, snazzy beads, pearls, or vintage goodies, such as rhinestone buttons, vintage lace, or super cute charms.
And, just so you have some cool hoops to match your gorgeous cuff, I’ll show you how to design these too. Come join me for a packed full day of bending, layering, winding and wrapping. It’s going to be FUN!
