Synopsis:

“[For] the young at heart...37 items to craft concentrate on hair ornaments and necklaces, bracelets, and anklets; most are fairly simple to fashion...the book is frontloaded with the how-tos, a good basic explanation of threads, needles, clasps catches, knots, and other challenges a novice beader just might encounter....Totally for young people—from styles to execution.”—Booklist. “A ‘how-to’ delight for any budding bead enthusiast.”—Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot.

From Booklist: In her first book, Bhatt gears her comments and directions to the young at heart. Her 37 items to craft concentrate on hair ornaments and necklaces, bracelets, and anklets; most are fairly simple to fashion, since few emulate specific recognizable objects. Each pattern features a materials list and step-by-step instructions as well as illustrations for most of the processes. A "try this" box of text indicates possible variables--new colors, new sizes, and new shapes. And the book is frontloaded with the how-tos, a good basic explanation of threads, needles, clasps-catches, knots, and other challenges a novice beader just might encounter (for instance, what if my threads run out in the middle?).
