  • Boy howdy ….did I order the wrong book!
Format: Paperback
I totally messed up with this book. I didn’t read the title or the description of the contents well enough. It was not exactly what I wanted. OK, it wasn’t what I wanted. AT ALL! I’m giving this book 5 stars because as I scanned through the book, I noticed it had excellent patterns, very imaginative and easily customizable. I have worked with this type of bead before the double holded, but it’s not my preference. I do recommend this book for people who like this kind of beading. ... show more

  • Nice patterns, but a caution
Format: Paperback
Some nice patterns, but I have found that many of the beads used are no longer available or quite difficult to find.

  • Easy to Follow with Beautiful Patterns
Format: Paperback
Love this book. It is so hard to find patterns for two-hole beads, so when I saw this book, I snapped it right up. I loved the patterns in this book, the illustrations were great, and the directions were easy to follow. I would definitely recommend.

  • Great for beginners
Format: Paperback
If you are a beginner beaded jewelry maker , interested in using 2 hole beads, this is a great book for you. The illustrations are excellent, using easy-to-follow 2 color notations to demonstrate the thread paths. This book contains 40 projects: 12 Earings, 16 Bracelets, 12 Necklaces. You will learn all the basics by the time you finish these projects. imo, The designs are very similar from project to project. If you are an intermediate of advanced beader, you will not find these designs challenging. I was hoping for more complex designs. I would have loved to see some complex multi layer or half tila herringbone bracelets. This is a well written and illustrated jewelry tutorial book. The photos of each piece are beautiful. Two hole bead books are hard to find. This is a good one for beginners. ... show more

  • Great for all levels of beaders
Format: Paperback
If you like beading, you'll love this book. It has lots of great ideas on how to make pretty, less common, things. I can't wait to start making what I've been reading about. Pictures are good and it's easy to understand.

  • Bead pattern book
Format: Paperback
I was looking forward to getting this book. When I got it there are nice patterns, but not sure where to find the beads to make the patterns with. I was hoping for more patterns using super duo beads. Kind of disappointed with the book.
