Step 1:  Cut a 28" piece of beading thread and fold it in half.  Tie a large knot as illustrated in image A.  Cut off the extra tail of thread from the knot.  Slide on a bead tip with the mouth pointing toward the knot.  Add a small drop of glue and close the bead tip using a flat tip pliers as illustrated in image B. 

Step 2:  Begin stringing your beads.  After the bead tip, thread both strings through one bronze 10/0 bead.  Next, string one strand at a time - 17 mixed 11/0 Jet Black OP/RB and 10/0 seed beads will go on each strand.  Notice in the large 'map' image below that the area marked section 1 does not have any garnets and will therefore not 'bulge' the way the other sections do. 

Step 4:  Follow the large map image for the order in stringing your large beads. 

Step 5:  Once all your beading is done, string one final bronze 10/0 bead on both threads before putting on your bead tip.  Make sure you pull the threads tightly so that your beads bulge properly!  Put the bead tip on with the mouth facing the ends of the threads this time.  Tie another large knot to secure the threads.  Putting on the final bead tip is a very tricky part of the process, try using a needle as illustrated in image D to help you tie a large an secure knot inside the open bead tip.  Again, add a drop of glue and cut the extra thread from your knot.  Use a flat nosed pliers to close the bead tip. 

Step 6:  Close the hooks of both bead tips onto either piece of the toggle clasp and you're done! 

 "Okay now that everyone is setup again, we can resume where we left off. Let's see, ceramics, you all set?' 
 "Yes!" 
 "Gymp tying and Kite making, all set?" 
 "We're ready." 
 "Basket weaving" 
 "I'm ready" 
 "Tom, your group with woodburning all set?" 
 "Yup! We're already" 
 
 "I've been around the room and everyone is working, so, lets continue now with you. We had just finished sanding your pieces, when the thieves stole the equipment. Fortunately, they didn't take the wood. Next, we have the tracing steps. Some patterns come in rub on patterns. These are not though, which is better for you." 
 "Why is that Mr. Peabody?" 
 "Well Gary, These patterns will teach you the skills of tracing the pattern." 
 "Oh!" 
 "First you select the pattern you want to burn, then you take a piece of tracing paper and trace your pattern. Everyone do that now! I'll circulate around the room while your doing that." 
 "Everyone done with the tracing? Good! Now take a piece of graphite paper, to trace your picture with.  Watch your fingers, don't touch the top surface of your wood where your picture is, or you'll have finger prints on your wood. Gently tape the tracing paper over the graphite paper  on the wood. Most graphite paper has writing on the top, it should face up at you. This way the ink is on the wood under the tracing paper. (Wood, then graphite paper then tracing paper with pattern on it taped to underside of wood to hold it down.) 
 "Now trace the pattern again with a pencil, (Not a ball point pen. ) Pens cause ruts, which makes it harder to follow the pattern when burning the pattern. Once the pattern is drawn, we heat up the iron and trace the pattern on the wood with the hot iron. Please be careful gang with the hot irons they can cause very serious burns if used incorrectly" 
 "Wow! this is great Mr. Peabody!" 
 "Nothing like it Tom, seeing something you have created with your hands. " 
 "Mr. Peabody?" 
 "Yes Jenny?" 
 "How do we make the shading like around the grass and places?" 
 ''By using shadowing tips or just the position you place the basic burn tip on the wood. Here are some shading tips handouts I brought with me!"   "All of these shapes and shadings can be made with the correct position of the burn tip...! Here are some more details for you."  " I hope this gives you a better idea, of what I'm talking about?" 
 "That's great Mr. Peabody", Tom said. 
Soon the wood burning had moved right along and the group was finishing their projects. 
 "What do you think, Mr. Peabody?" 
 "Gary, they are all works of art!" 
 Gary grinned form ear to ear! He beamed like the sun! 
 "Well folks, there you have it, your first wood burning project. After they cool, we will spray them in a well ventilated area, with the graphic art sealer spray. You can also put picture hanging brackets on the back, if you like and hang them up when you go home. Next week you all can select another project to work on! Every one, go have supper now" 
 And so it went for the summer, new projects, new talents learned....
