Beading Book

Guide Rating -

Okay, I will admit it, I was especially attracted to this book because I love beads! Always have, always will... Aren't they just the most fascinating things, with the variety of shapes and colors you have to choose from! I have always loved beads and found many ways to use them in crafts.

If you love beads, or have always just wanted a reason to use them, then this book should interest you! This book has many ideas for making jewelry out of beads. Heck, I know it is a kids' book, but most grown-up type people who have ever wanted to try their hand at beading would love it too (I was almost tempted to keep this book for myself)!

This book starts out explaining various supplies you will use. It explains the different kinds of beads. Do you know the difference between seed beads, bugle beads, or E beads? It gives helpful hints on the best kind of thread and needles to use. You also get various tips for tools to use, ways to store beads, and more.

This book shares specific patterns for many necklaces, bracelets, and earrings; plus, it gives you helpful suggestions to creating your own designs. It has simple projects, like a coil bracelet and headpin earrings, and more difficult projects, like a delicate Daisy-Chain Bracelet or tassel earrings. How about detailed instructions for making a bracelet out of safety pins? You will find one here! It also has quite a few pages devoted to making a bead loom and creating your own loom jewelry.

Make your own fashion statement! Make jewelry for gifts for those special people! Okay, like I said, I might be a little bias on this subject; but, if you ever wanted to try your hand at making jewelry using beads, then you really should give this book a try.
