Bracelets are just the right size. They are perfect for gift-giving because they?re easy to wear. They are the perfect project to try out a new beadweaving technique as well, because earrings are too small to sink your teeth into, and a necklace is a much larger commitment, not to mention intimidating at times. Beaded Bracelets will teach the reader 9 essential beadweaving stitches. One or more of the stitches will be used throughout 20 patterned projects. Step-by- step illustrations will make the projects easy to follow and the range of techniques used will appeal to beginners, intermediate beaders and seasoned beadweavers alike. |
