Modern beads come in a wide variety of styles, colours and materials and can be used to transform the simple and everyday into something special. Now you can use both traditional techniques and quick short-cuts to create beautiful items to decorate the home. "Beadwork" presents a range of projects in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format, with techniques to suit all levels of experience. Classic beadwork is used to create beaded bottle covers or fringing for cushions. Decorative borders can be made with a bead loom, applied to curtain tie backs or fabric borders. For a contemporary treatment, hang beads from a thin wire, suspended from a pendant lamp or wall sconce. Beads can be clustered together to make an original addition to a mosaic splashback, or threaded onto the fringe of a favourite throw. Throughout, step-by-step photography illustrates the method used, and colour photographs show all the presentation ideas in the home. A hard-working techniques section details the more intricate applications and highlights the essential materials and equipment needed for success.
