This is a plan where you can make as many glass beads as you want. It is a rare plan that you rarely see. You can usually make around 30 beads, from small to large. The smaller the beads, the easier they are for beginners. This is suitable for people who like to immerse themselves in the process. There are many people who come to make this plan many times. Since this is a self-plan, you will start by applying a release agent to the iron core. The instructor will be nearby, but this is a method where you deepen your knowledge by yourself, which is different from one-on-one lessons where you will be constantly supervised. For beginners, it is easier to understand if you start with small beads. If you have made beads many times, you can start with your favorite size and pattern. Choose your favorite pattern and color from over 100 types of glass, melt it with a burner, and wrap the glass around the iron core to make a large round bead. We will teach you the basic patterns (marble and polka dots). Please make many small beads by yourself. You can choose from three types of marble, polka dots, etc., so you can create your own original glass beads by combining colors and patterns! You can make many, so they are perfect as gifts for friends and family. Note: We will instruct you to avoid any danger of burns. You can make many, but we will recommend what you can make without overdoing it. If you want to make something special, please apply for the all-you-can-make special with thorough instruction. ☆-----★-----☆-----★-----☆-----★-----☆-----★ [Fee] 5,400 yen [Experience time] About 2 and a half hours [What you will make] All-you-can-make glass beads.
