50 Beaded Bracelets: Step-by-Step Techniques for Beautiful Beadwork Designs

Amazing and a beautiful book. It was recommended to me and I’m really pleased with it. Highly recommend fantastic designs and suitable for different levels as the basic stitches are also covered at the back of the book.

Beautiful book with many interesting designs and excellent delivery

What lovely bracelets with clear instructions on how to make them. Lots of them..

Wonderful rich luxurious colours and designs that inspire and motivate

This is a great collection of 50beautiful beading bracelet patterns which have been collated from some of the most popular from previous editions of Beadwork magazine. It sounds cliched, but there really is a design here that would be a match for everyone’s tastes!The patterns range in difficulty, they are not rated, but it obvious from looking at them which ones are more advanced than others. Each of them have very clear instructions, with a drawn pattern to accompany the written instructions. There are also ‘artists tips’ with each design.Many of the designs could easily be adapted into necklaces or earrings (some designs have instructions/ tips how to do so).I would say that it may not be for a ‘complete beginning’ to beadwork; unless they buy an accompanying book as it does assume a certain level of knowledge regarding beading. However, as it has so many designs of varying degrees of difficulty, it is perfect from anyone with a basic knowledge and a keen interest to learn more up to a very skilled beaded.It is a wonderful book and one which will keep me busy for many hours and I will return to frequently over the coming years.Many thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a beader who mostly makes bracelets, this book is a joy to behold. There is a great variety of styles and while I recognise some of the patterns there are also some that I haven’t seen before and intend to try making. I was particularly happy to see that many had beaded clasps. As I leafed through the pages I felt a bit like a kid in a sweet shop and my ‘favourite’ changed several times. The photography is fabulous and the instructions seem very clear. I just need to get my beads out and get started now
