 Half the instructions are incomplete re: supplies July 5, 2008
I've never written a review before, but after spending over an hour trying to decipher the sizes (and even the types in 2 cases) of beads in one of the particularly pretty designs, I have finally thrown up my hands. And I am an experienced jewelry maker! It's so odd how some of the beads are named properly and given the appropriate sizes while others are not. How is anyone supposed to work with that? I'm also not all that impressed with most of the designs in this book -- unfortunately there was just this one and one other that I already knew how to do...
 Great book to get started beading. March 8, 2007

Wonderful book for those new to beading. Easy to follow directions have great illustrated drawings. Each project lists a few items(you can jot down before you shop for the items) and don't forget pliers and cutters to put it all together and some sort of clip so the beads don't slide off the string.
 Beading Too Simple! February 22, 2004

The projects in this book are very basic and unimaginative! My five-year-old child can make them!
Quick & Easy -- and lovely! April 5, 2003

The title says it. The projects are fairly simple and the authors have some pretty clever ideas. Tools, thread, wire, findings needed are a standard beginning for a how-to book like this. Usually relegated to an appendix are jewelry standards, such as beads per inch, but here they precede bead stringing, knotting and weaving. How to make and use jump rings rates a special mention. Most jewelry-making books neglect the handy jump ring. Pressed for time to make a quick jewelry gift? Yes, check out this book.

I have bought many beading books and have been disappointed in many, but this book in no way disappoints. It offers the same information for beginners on findings and needed supplies that the other books do but has an easier to follow format. All (yes, all ..no duds in this book)of the projects are actually jewelry pieces that I would like to make and own or that can be easly altered to better suit the jewelry maker.
