"Lark recently reprinted this book with a new cover and at a reduced price. It’s been one of their best sellers and it’s easy to see why. I do challenge myself with learning new techniques, working with unusual components and trying to stretch and grow. But sometimes it’s nice to just have fun and get some instant gratification at the same time. This book is perfect for those moments. It’s also a great book for those beginning to work with beads. There’s plenty of jewelry, but also a nice variety of other projects – napkin rings, greeting cards, bookmarks, and accents for candle holders, bottles and planters. I love the beaded and charmed basket. I’ve never made anything like this before. Starting with a purchased wire basket, the bead work probably goes pretty quickly. This design could translate nicely into a larger basket with larger glass or other beads. So relax, grab some beads and have something pretty to show before Monday morning gets here." - The Bead Dreamer
“It's going to be hard to decide which project to make first: the zipper pull, napkin rings, greeting cards, picture frames, or bookmark!” - Quick & Easy Crafts.
"The Weekend Crafter: Beading is another good book with lots of fun and easy to make projects, ideal for beginners. You can find projects to create fun crafts and jewelry. This is a great book to spend a whole weekend making the projects and having a great time. The first part of the book talks about beads, beading materials and tools, findings, design basics and much more. I am sure you will find a great project to make!" - Lorena Angulo
