Creating Wire and Beaded Jewelry
Customer reviews were mostly positive:
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!
