25 Dazzling Handcrafted Projects

Learn how to create wearable works of art! Beaded Bracelets will show you how to make 25 original woven beaded bracelets that are contemporary and sure to make a statement.

Every bracelet design is unique and has been created by author Claudine McCormack Jalajas to help you master the four main basic beadweaving stitches: peyote, crossweave, right angle weave, and herringbone. Each design comes with a complete and detailed material list, and clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations. And all the projects will show you how beads are gently woven together to create bracelets that are lacy, chunky, sleek, fringed, delicate, and most of all beautiful. Also included are tips for purchasing the right tools and beads and resources that will guide your buying decisions.

5 of 5 stars

I originally gave this book 4 stars, but have revised it to 5. The original 4 star rating was because none of the designs called out to me personally. On reflections, I've upgraded it to a 5 because the instructions are rock solid, written in a very clear and concise manner. Lots of good pictures and simple designs (which look more complex than they are).

A good solid book with nice designs which (in my opinion) will 'age' well.
