Leather, fabric, yarn, paint, stamps and of course beads all come together in these projects. This is the book to get you to use up what you have on hand and not need a trip to the store for something special! The beading instructions are easy to follow and the diagrams offer even more help to beginners.

One of the reasons that these books have become part of my “favorites” list is the complete supply lists that are given. They are one of the few publishers who give all the color numbers and brand names of exactly what you need to complete the chosen project. That makes it a whole lot easier on beginners who are trying something for the first time.
