[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am giving this beading book three stars because of the information about beading and the easy to follow step-by-step instructions for various projects. Besides that, the projects are all over the place (not just jewelry) and I found many of them to be on the tacky side. I am looking for more trendy and fun pieces to create.
