- Demonstrate any technique used in the bead project, such as how to make a wrapped loop or how to do basic beaded netting.
- If you have a mix of new and expert beaders in your group, try to seat an experienced beader between new beaders so that those with beading knowledge may help guide the new beaders (if they don't mind).
- If your group is all new beaders, you might want to stick to a single project on your first party, just to make sure that each participant can finish the item and take something home.
Tip: If your project requires the use of a hazardous technique, such as boring out pearls with a needle file or clipping Memory Wire, have one experienced person do this task for all the beaders in attendance. There is no better way to ruin a beading party that to have a new beader suffer an injury, no matter how slight!
