Based on years of teaching experience, this informative handbook presents easy-to-understand instructions with sidebars to help students master beading techniques. Each of the 13 beading techniques are first explained in detail, then further explored with projects to enhance the beader's skills and confidence. The 63 projects included—ranging from bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings to findings, closures, beaded beads, and other beaded objects—teach a single project or technique arranged to build skill.
Each of the 18 easy-to-follow, technique-led projects in this book shows how items such as bags, purses, gift boxes, picture frames, cushions and scarves can be made or transformed by beading, whether it is by means of loom-weaving, fringing and tassels or other combinations.
