Hands On Crafts for Kids – adfdf

Candie’s other show –

I’ve designed jewelry and kids’ crafts projects for some of the largest companies in the craft industry. Here’s a sampling of my work.Sari Silk Necklace:  This is a small sampling of what you can find in my Craftsy.com class, Beading with Wire, Chain and Leather.  In my class, I take you through a beginner course of jewelry making.  You’ll also learn how to connect ribbons, leather, and chain to your jewelry designs.

The Best Things Come in Threes:  This is a statement necklace I designed for Jesse James Beads for a class at Bead Fest Spring 2014.  I wanted the design to be luxuriously playful.  Rawr!

A Charmed Life:  Around my small town, I’m known for using found objects in my custom designs.  I can take your grandma’s vintage jewelry and give it new life.  This charm bracelet is just one fancy example.  Send me an email if you’re interested in a custom piece of your own.Metal-worked Cuff Collection:  Since 2013, I’ve been appearing on Jewelry Television’s Jewel School for Beadalon.  I specialize in trendy fashion jewelry with a touch of your own style blended in.Birds on Knotted Leather:  For the past five years, I’ve made regular appearances on the PBS beading television series, Beads, Baubles and Jewels.  It’s a passion to teach others how to make beautiful jewelry with easy and fascinating techniques.  See me on the show here.Boutique Style Jewelry-The Candie Cooper Collection: When I’m not working for the craft and hobby industry, I’m designing pieces for my own collection.  I sell these pieces to boutique shops.  Contact me if you’re interested in a wholesale order.
