In reply to Janet.

Janet, I think the jewelry classes in your gift shop would be popular – especially if you encourage participants to bring a friend. It’s more fun for the participants to have a friend in the class, and more students for you. 🙂

I have a seasonal gift shop and often thought it would be fun to host some jewelry classes in the store, (before I open) for the vacationers that are in the area. Teaching something from start to finish seemed an enormous task to me; but I think these kits would be a perfect project that could be done in an hour. Then I would have extra kits to sell that they could take home. I could focus on fun summer stretch bracelets or ankle bracelets. Something simple.

I love your articles. They always hit the nail on the head. I always want to teach jewelry making but with some control. This is the solution. Thank you

In reply to Holly. Hi Holly, it depends on whether you're working with someone individually or teaching a group. Kits are much easier, especially for group settings. In my post, Jewelry Making Party Flyers I wrote, "I recommend using flyers with photos that represent projects your jewelry making party guests could realistically make themselves. In fact, many people will just point to one of the photos on your flyer and say, 'I want to make that!'” So if you have a pre-selected array of projects to choose from, you could create kits for each project ahead of time, to help make the event go smoothly.

Thank you again Rena for another great article with more great tips! What a great way to arrange the kits. I think I will apply your advice to the beading class for seniors that I am hosting in November.
