Tree of Life Pendant Recipe

---

This beadshop project is a classic! We taught it way back in our brick and mortar days and it continues to be a fun project to work on. Kate gives us a refresher on how to wrap up one of these wire trees. Make your own using these general recipe guidelines…use traditional greens or try with fall colors…make one for every season! Use the stones that correspond to birthstones in your family to create a family tree…or just use your favorite colors! There are so many possibilities. Join us on 2.27.19 for this fun episode of beadshop LIVE on Facebook and YouTube.
