Making Beautiful Bead & Wire Jewelry

For her latest book, bestselling author Linda Jones has created 30 imaginative, contemporary-looking designs that are both quick and easy to make. Bead and wire jewellery is one of the fastest-growing crafts, with more and more people discovering the joys of making unique, hand-crafted pieces every year. In these recession-hit times, Linda Jones demonstrates how almost anything - from old buttons and broken necklaces, to pebbles picked up on a stroll along the beach, and even household staples such as washers, bolts and plumbing chain - can be transformed into graphic, stylish pieces of jewellery that won't break the bank. Eye-catching and fashionable, with something to suit all ages and tastes: this is bling on a budget!

This is only a sample, not the complete book.
