I loved this book because of the detailed instructions and beautiful color photos. I made one bead following the instructions and I haven't been able to stop since! The projects are perfect for kids because of the simplicity, and a great rainy-day craft because you already have the materials at hand. I've made some really cool jewelry that I can guarantee no one else has.

The book is a very amazing craft idea. I could start making beads almost immediatly w/ great sucess. Almost everyone in my family has requested a necklace since i began making them, and i plan to continue. I hope more people catch on to this idea!

Paper beads are like potato chips, you can't stop at just one! They are easy to make, even the fancier ones are easy after just a little practice. This is such a great, inexpensive, and very creative craft. I even sold some of my creations on eBay!

this is a great book. The author goes into great detail about making dozens of paper and fabric beads. I would recommend this book to any crafter who enjoys jewelry, beads, paper crafts, recycling, and new and unusual crafts. Good instructions are easy enough for a pre teen or teen to follow-good party, scout craft idea. Buy it!

I wish I had found this book earlier. I could have saved a lot of sweat, tears and toil. A year ago I became involved with destitute and sick women in Africa who needed a way to support their children. I taught myself how to make paper beads and jewelry so I could teach them. I spent hours in trial and error experimentation. It was all in this book! Tina Casey starts with basics and goes into very exotic techniques. But everything is clearly explained and uses very simple materials. There are now 20 jewelry makers and they are doing well, but this book would have flattened out the learning curve for me and the women! This treasure is out of print, so snap up a copy when one is available. This is an invaluable resource for paper bead making. It is definitely the best book on the subject of the many I have read!

The book is in great condition, better than I expected. The delivery was swift. All in all, a good experience.
