Customer Reviews

I LOVE this book!

I have many jewelry and beading books, but this is and Bead On A Wire are my favorites. There are so many projects to choose from, and I disagree with the reader who said the pictures are muted - or something to that effect. The pictures are gorgeous! One of the first projects is an absolutely beautiful silver bali (type) bead, seed beed, and turquoise necklace - it's stunning, and the picture is stunning! I'm making a bracelet, and I've already made the earrings and ring to go with it! I've had nothing but ooohhhs and aaahhhs - and requests for me to make numerous pieces and sets! I was really excited to see the other books listed here - as I picked mine up at a discount book store - I'd never seen the title before, but I'm so glad I happened upon it!

My New Favorite Book!!!

I am absolutely delighted with this book! It's full of beautiful designs with clear instruction! This book skips right to the good stuff and doesn't waste the first 20 pages telling you about basics like every single other beading book out there. I'd say it's more of intermidiate level, although I am a beginner and am easily able to apply these techniques. The style of the jewelry projects in here is more bold, some are ethnic, and a lot of multi strands(which I love!) but very pretty like the piece on the cover. If you like little simple dainty designs, this isn't for you. But if you like your jewelry to make a statement and are able to look at pictures and adapt these projects into your own style, then you will probably really enjoy this book! I sure do!!!

Neat book! Lots of ideas and instructions!

I personally liked nearly ALL the projects in this book! I never ran across a bead book that I liked nearly everything before!

Buy this book

This is a wonderful book to have. It has all the steps to completing a project and so many inspirational ideas. I would highly recommend this as one of the books to own.

Excellent Book

Viewing the inside of Chic & Easy Beading on this site does not show the buyer the excellent instructions and steps for each project. A friend brought this book in at work for me to look at now I want to buy a copy. I would not have ordered the book if I had not seen the step by step instructions that are unfortunately not shown while viewing this site. Chic & Easy Beading shows clear step by step pictures of each project. The most complicated project looks so easy to make. I cannot wait to have my own copy.
