Whether you’re a complete beginner or just want to try something different, here’s why jewelry-making is the go-to bonding activity you didn’t know you needed.

1. You Don’t Need to Be “Creative” to Have Fun

Our classes are beginner-friendly and judgment-free. We provide the tools, the materials, and just the right amount of guidance—so you can focus on experimenting, chatting, and enjoying the vibe. No experience needed, just a willingness to play.

2. It’s a Built-In Conversation Starter

You’re not just sitting across a table awkwardly—you're making something. Picking beads, choosing charms, trying colors together. It keeps things light, interactive, and surprisingly intimate without the pressure of small talk.

3. You Leave With Something Personal

At the end of the night, you walk away with a piece of jewelry you designed yourself. It’s more than a souvenir, it’s a reminder of time well spent. For couples, it becomes a cute keepsake. For friends, it’s a wearable reminder of your night out.

4. It’s BYOB-Friendly and Totally Customizable

Many of our Sip & String events are BYOB, so you can bring your favorite wine, tea or bubbly. Want to host a private event for a birthday, bachelorette, or Galentine’s party? We’ve got options for that too.

5. You Can Bring the Bead Bar to You

Prefer to host your own night in? Our Mobile Bead Bar comes fully stocked with everything you need to throw a stylish DIY jewelry party at home. Great for living rooms, patios, or Airbnb celebrations.
