Bring to class:
2 shuttles, loaded CTM (how much thread depends on how tightly or loosely you tat)
Shuttle 1 should have 86 beads and most of the thread
Shuttle 2 should have 7 beads and less thread
1 Teardrop bead (although the model is tatted with a milky white teardrop, I have found them in four additional colors – baby pink, sapphire blue, emerald green, and amethyst purple)

You may also find helpful:
Crochet hook for joins
A short length of contrasting scrap thread
A dental floss threader or beading needle

Sharren will have a quantity of teardrop beads, in the colors indicated above, available in class should you wish to purchase one or more (35¢ each or 3/$1.00)
