Customer Reviews

A good and informative book
I was looking for a book on beading that gave good information for the beginner and some nice designs to get me started - and this is it. The pictures are good and the instructions for the projects are clear. There are loads of different designs to suit different tastes and each has an approximate time to complete, a guide to ease of making and a complete list of items required along with the picture and instructions. I am so pleased I bought this book.

A very helpful starting book.
Completely new to making beaded jewellery, I found this book really helpful. There were basic, straight-forward instructions for a large variety of different projects.
The emphasis was on different types of beads rather than lots of different techniques, but it has been a great help getting me started.

Filled with great illustrations, easy to follow step-by-step instructions, design ideas and crafty tips, this is a must have for everyone interested in making their own jewellery.
