Getting Started with Seed Beads (Getting Started Series)

Getting Started with Seed Beads (Getting Started Series)

by Dustin Wedekind (Author)

Synopsis

Don't know the first thing about beading? All it takes are some seed beads, a bit of thread, wire, or glue, a needle, and a little inspiration from "Getting Started with Seed Beads". This must-have resource includes all the basics in a warm, encouraging tone: how to shop for beads, findings, and tools, giving the basic techniques with clear step-by-step full colour illustrations, and of course plenty of great projects. With "Getting Started with Seed Beads", you'll begin by simply gluing beads to a base, then progress logically to manipulating traditional stitches such as peyote, backstitch and brick stitch. You'll also learn how to finish off your project expertly. Projects include beaded greeting cards, a curiously beaded tin, a cross-stitch tote, a beaded and sequined pin, a fabric floral patch, beaded ribbons, a loomworked choker, and much, much more.
