Get Started Beading (Best of Bead & Button Magazine)

I broke a favorite bracelet, decided to do something about it. I surfed to my favorite & trusted sight--Amazon.com, and bought the 2 most perfect beading books I thought possible.This book truly does have " 52 Fabulous Projects ", as the cover reads. But, I would have been totally intimidated with theseprojects had I not purchased "'GETTING STARTED' Stringing Beads"by Jean Campbell at the same time for the free shipping.I highly recommend these two books together for anyone who is thinking about beading.

Very good for beginners to get an idea of some of the types and techniques of beading.

Got this for my niece who is into jewelry. I thought this would help her with new skills. She likes it and says she has learned new things.

This product is a mediocre learning tool. It could be used by the inexperienced to get a very basic explaination of the tools need to start beading. The experienced could possibly use it for the various projects explainations included. As someone new to this craft I will be seeking aid elsewhere to further explain the various ways to bead.

I am brand new to beading, and self-taught, to boot. This book has a wide variety of projects that are beading basics. But it's not very specific or thorough with instructions. I am having to figure many things out, when I would prefer a diagram or detailed instructions. Nice photos of completed pieces.

Great book! I'm pleased. I am really a "very" beginner and the book explains all the processes very well.I am having trouble finding some of the beads recommended for the projects but maybe that is because I am still not familiar with everything. The book still gets a thumbs up from me.

its a great book but I overestimated myself. It seems that the book is for the experienced beader. Or, I'm just not that confident.

it gave more ideas to work with,i found many projects to work with,really liked it,it was up dated with new ideas
