Getting Started Stringing Beads

The title says everything - this is a great little book to get you started stringing beads. If you know nothing at all about the subject, after reading the lengthy detailed introduction you will have a good general knowledge of beads, tools, findings, stringing materials, knotting,etc. It then covers all the basics, from a simple bead on a string, to multistranded necklaces and bracelets and if you have a creative enough mind then you could go on from this to designing your own jewellery. As an introduction to the subject, this is perfect.

I love this book. I'm new to jewellery making and this book has clear pictures and directions for all the basic things you need to know how to do. The pictures are georgeous and I totally fell in love with the blue beads they use! A good book to get if you're starting out.

Very good as beginners' book. Clear instructions for some pretty projects. Unfortunately a couple of pages had tears but not reaching text. Will use book a lot.

I am so pleased with the book it's easy to follow and full of great idea's if you are looking for a first time jewellery making then this is the book to get. The service is quick and the price is excellent compared to other books I was looking at so I'm a happy customer and I'm ordering from them again thank you so much.

another of my favourite book where I start learning how to create a design and stringing beads.... great book and good quality. I will recommend this seller to my family and friends. 5 star seller.

Just what I needed to improve my skills.

So many ideas in this book. Its very thorough and has got lots of excellent close up photos of the tools/ beads you will use and how all the techniques work. Worth every penny.

Handy size introduction to bead stringing.

A bit used, but in good condition. Delivery was good.

When I first started beading, I bought several bead books. Many of them were a waste of time-but not this one. I refer back to it often for basic information. While it may be a little boring for advanced users, beginners will find it extremely helpful. Getting Started Stringing Beads includes information on shopping for beads (which helped me to understand how bead stores work-I would have been lost without this!). Did you know that when you go into a real bead store you will find a bead tray and clipboards with paper and pens to write down what you buy? It also includes the basics, simple design instructions, information on focal beads, earrings, and helpful tips. This book was well worth the money.

Fabulous series, photos amazing.

Lots of information to get you started with beading. Explanations are clear and the book is filled with illustrations. Beading supplies are detailed so you understand what you need for your projects.

I have come back to this book numerous times for help as I begin my jewelry making hobby. It is organized and laid out well, and the definitions and illustrations/photos of different types of beads, findings, etc., are very helpful for novices like me. The book contains pretty basic information, and that's a good thing. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get started off on the right foot with this hobby.
