Synopsis

People are surprised how easy braiding is to learn and the fabulous results you can get right from the start. But invariably they ask how do you do it with beads?

This book is proof positive that if you only learn one braid, the basic round braid, that by adding beads, you can make an astounding number of beautiful braids, none of which will look like the next.

In this book you re going to learn that changing the number of bobbins carrying beads can give you a different look. That changing the fiber will give you a different look. That changing the size, shape and color of the bead can make even the plainest of braids...extraordinary.

Braiding is simple. It s fun. It can be as inexpensive as you need it to be. There are a lot of good times in this book.
