Life's A Bead's jewelery artisans align disparate baubles to forge unique pieces of wearable glam using a variety of techniques. The class calendar indicates the required level of expertise and necessary supplies for each session, including a list of beads available for purchase from the store's inventory and the locations of telephone poles from which to cut wire. Jewelry-forging duos can acquire skills in a variety of bead-entwining techniques, such as wirework, stitched jewelry, crocheted bracelets, and epoxy sculpting with a material called Crystal Clay. While this Groupon does not cover the cost of materials, customers receive 20% off materials purchased for class projects. The value of this Groupon can also be applied toward classes where materials are included; customers will receive $15 off the cost of each class.
