“Any new beader should read [this book] before hitting the bead store, and even better, carry it along.”—Bead Unique magazine |
Would you like to make your own handcrafted bead
jewelry but just don't know how or where to begin? Well, now you
do! Getting Started Stringing Beads is the first book written
for non-beaders—those people with absolutely no beading knowledge—and
carefully guides them through every aspect making jewelry by stringing
(that is, threading wire or thread through beads). This must-have
book features more than 100 color photographs and illustrations
that walk you—step-by-step—through going to a bead shop, selecting
beads, what to do when you get them home, and basic stringing materials.
It also teaches how to secure wire with crimps, tie knots, and work
with findings. As you learn to bead, you'll be making more than
25 fun and appealing projects such as a flashy Findings Charm Bracelet
that gives you a heads up on connectors; tasteful earrings in four
style: drop, line, hoop, and chandelier; and invaluable classic
jewelry designs from the Simple Bracelet to the more challenging
Two-Strand Matinee necklace. An abundance of tips and bead resources
will keep your creative juices percolating while you create the
jewelry you've only dreamed of making—until now!
Getting Started is a new series from Interweave Press that
makes learning new crafts simple and fun. More
