Review
Beading is extremely popular with girls from about age seven or eight, and they'll find dozens of patterns and suggestions in this easy-to-follow guide. It includes instructions for a homemade beading loom made out of a shoebox, which saves the cost of buying a store-made loom. (The Kingston Whig-Standard )

Cool jewelry book for kids
The snappy, fun, and bright beaded jewelry in this book will motivate crafty adolescents to try their hand at making these pieces. The materials are easy to acquire where there are beading supplies, and the instructions are very well illustrated and easy to follow. The techniques are fairly simple, mostly using needle and thread. One of the pieces shows how to finish the ends by using a crimp bead next to the clasps, but all the others are finished by tying the ends in a knot around the clasps, and then sealed with clear nail polish. This repetition of technique keeps the process simple and eliminates the tools generally used in jewelry-making. Some kids might want some help, but once started, they should sail along making these coiled bracelets, strung bracelets and anklets, and earrings. There are also clear illustrations for making a bead loom, and for showing how to weave the beads on the loom to make Indian-look woven bracelets.

Great Book for Kids!
Wonderful book for kids who want to try beading. Teachers, scout leaders, and others who are looking for projects for their kids.
