4.0 out of 5 stars Linear Thinking, June 24, 2002

By	"beren" (Fenton, MO United States) - See all my reviews

If you have an item that needs a handle to hold it, the pattern is in this book. If it is not, then with imagination, the starting point is in this book. If the item is weighty, a macrame strap may be the answer. Do you need leashes for your glasses? There are several patterns that will suffice. There are loomed and off loom straps as well as one that is made with a spool-knitter. If you have never beaded before, some of the straps require practice before starting, but many are able to be compleated on the first try. The diagrams could have been clearer, but they will suffice. All one needs is a bead supplier for the seed beads and thread and you're ready to give it a go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Customer Review of Booklet ("Beaded Cords, etc."), July 18, 2009

By	D. Eddins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This booklet about beading is clearly and well written; the author provides detailed instructions and good pictures. It was easy to imagine different colors/bead sizes, and my imagination has certainly been given a workout.
