great, inexpensive fun for adults and teens

this is a great book. The author goes into great detail about making dozens of paper and fabric beads. I would recommend this book to any crafter who enjoys jewelry, beads, paper crafts, recycling, and new and unusual crafts. Good instructions are easy enough for a pre teen or teen to follow-good party, scout craft idea. Buy it!

This is a great book!

Paper beads are like potato chips, you can't stop at just one! They are easy to make, even the fancier ones are easy after just a little practice. This is such a great, inexpensive, and very creative craft. I even sold some of my creations on eBay!

I love it!

The book is a very amazing craft idea. I could start making beads almost immediatly w/ great sucess. Almost everyone in my family has requested a necklace since i began making them, and i plan to continue. I hope more people catch on to this idea!

Fun and easy hobby!

I loved this book because of the detailed instructions and beautiful color photos. I made one bead following the instructions and I haven't been able to stop since! The projects are perfect for kids because of the simplicity, and a great rainy-day craft because you already have the materials at hand. I've made some really cool jewelry that I can guarantee no one else has.
