Customer Reviews

A Great Gift for a Craft Maker
I found this book totally inspiring! If you've never made jewelry before, this is a perfect starting point! Using 3 simple pliers, a spool of wire and some beads ... you can get started. Beautifully photographed with step-by-step images (just like a good recipe book), the pages walk you through each stage of fabrication. It is packed with design ideas that would inspire anyone interested in using wire and beads. A perfect gift for a craft maker!

Spectacular learning aide with even better examples
I think the title of my review says it all. This book is exceptional in defining different techniques and applying them to the projects in the book. And each project has a variation pictured so you actually get two products per technique. And every design is wearable. Great for beginner or intermediate users.

Great how-to book.
I am a complete beginner and found this book very helpful. The instructions are easy to follow, the pictures vivid and beautiful, and the finished jewelry is lovely. There are lots of different projects to make for every level. I highly recommend this book.
