C.P. · April 1, 2024

This is a great resource for anyone creating with beads. Upfront covers tools, accessories, and supplies. Then a section focused on beading methods. Be aware that almost half of this book is focused on bead weaving, if that’s your thing you’ll love it. Great photos and descriptions throughout with some resource pages in the back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear instructions.

One of the reviews stated that this was a very beginner book. I am someone who is a little beyond a beginner and found this book to be very helpful because it has very good explanations of tools and procedures which, while I knew some of the information, gave me more insight as to how to be a better creator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just about everything you wanted to know about making jewelry . . . .

J.S. · December 28, 2012

Whether you are a novice jewelry maker, seasoned or intermediate, this book is for you. It has so many illustrations and written instructions for just about everything you could possibly want to know about jewelry making plus a few things you probably didn't know about.The photographs are bright and vivid and show detail which I am so grateful for! Step by step photos with instructions are so very helpful. The instructions are not hard to follow and make it seem so easy to do and best of all it is! It even has photos of the different kinds of tools that are available and how to use them and what they are for. Every thing you need to know and things that you should know are in this book.I have been making jewelry for a while and even though I thought I knew a lot, this book taught me a few things or two. The only thing I would change about this book is that I would make it in hardcover. Will I be recommending this book to others? Absolutely as it is a "must have" for your craft or jewelry making library!

5.0 out of 5 stars So many projects, so little time!

A. · October 12, 2023

I love this book! From beginning to end, this book explains everything you need to know about how to make beaded jewelry. Not only does it explain the various tools that are available, but it also shows how to use each tool and when. For each technique, it provides a project to try, noting how many beads of each color are needed (but also makes it very easy to substitute your own favorite colors). Learn how to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. I highly recommend it if you’re brand new to beading or even if you have some experience with beading, this book will enhance your knowledge.
