life changing

My kids were making some bad decisions, and seemed to be headed down a bad path. I got them this book, and it totally turned them around. Now they make beaded objects for the whole community. They're a handful, but I love my kids. They really are good kids.

Great for Beginners!

This is a wonderful book for anyone to learn basics about beadwork. The book features many patterns and designs for necklaces, bracelets and anklets, and hair ornaments. These designs are easy to make and follow, and each step is clearly illustrated and has easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Different desings in here includes squares bracelet, flowers and leaves necklace, flowers out of line necklace, circles bracelet, hanging wire star bobby pins, and much more. This book is perfect for beginning beaders who want an instructional book to follow as they progress.

Clear, concise and fun! A great gift too!

I have the hardest time figuring out what gifts to get people and this book was perfect for a recent round of gift giving. Everyone loved it and since beading is so popular right now it was just the right gift for those who are just beginning. The patterns in the book are great and give a ton of ideas. A great job was done on the illustrations making the actual beading process quite simple. I've actually seen a few of the designs in the book in some shops and was suprised to see how easy it is to make them. I would love to see a second book from this author with more designs and patterns.

Totally Beads, Totally easy to make!

Ms. Bhatt's book makes beading fun for everyone. The diagrams and directions are easy to understand and allow you to quickly create beaded masterpieces. The lists of materials and their descriptions are helpful, especially for the novice beader. A great buy!
