From elegant jewelry to decorative home accessories, these 40 beaded gifts are fun to make and a pleasure to give. The awe-inspiring selection of easy and intermediate projects includes necklaces and bracelets, hatbands and purses, mirrors and lampshades. General instructions, with advice on all the necessary tools and techniques (such as basic stringing and adding clasps), appear right up front. Start with the simple Changeable Bead Necklace, which uses a dazzling variety of beads in random colors and sizes. A cool and funky Wavy Barrette goes wonderfully with now-popular vintage clothing. Or make a Beach Glass Hanger, Satin Evening Bag, tassels, ornaments, and much more.
This book is a must-have for anyone who love to make gorgeous jewelry and accessories with beads! The instructions are well-written and the finished products are very impressive. Good tips, detailed instructions on many different techniques and great images. So many ideas for Xmas gifts!

This book really offers it all! There are beautiful jewelry pieces that you won't want to part with after making them, and wonderful gifts that you can whip up in an evening to make for unique gifts. Linda's directions are clear and concise, very easy to follow and understand. The pictures are exquisite! Every single one is a source of inspiration for even the most experienced beader.
