Large and small, round and faceted, clear and opaque, beads in all their amazing variety bring a wonderful sparkle to home accessories. With a minimum of tools and materials, and a few basic techniques, the beginner can soon be making a range of individual pieces. Using techniques such as encrusting, stringing, weaving and stitching and working with wire and fabric, the 15 colourful projects for the home show off a range of beads to best advantage. The projects include a beaded lampshade, wine glass charmers, a candle ring, a tasselled table runner, a fringed cushion and a beaded bowl cover. All projects are photographed step-by-step with clear instructions, variations and handy hints. There is also a comprehensive introductory section, describing the beads, equipment and basic techniques.
