A good addition of any jewellery makers collection, an excellent mixture of projects and ideas for any beginner and expert to sink their teeth into.
I was looking forward to this book to get ideas for my jewelry making business. Most of the designs seem to be geared more towards a younger audience, but I did find a few that I was inspired by. Great book!
I was particularly interested in the leather work and fine-beading, but everything in this how-to book is interesting, well detailed, and professional looking. If you have an interest in making your own jewelry this book is a must - if you follow the instructions your work will look great. The various closures that are available and the correct way to fasten them on is especially important.
I received a free electronic copy of this how-to book from Netgalley and Dover Publications. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this book of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work.

This book includes colorful bracelets made from a variety of techniques. It would be an excellent resource for those wanting to learn many different ways to make a bracelet. Conveniently included are detailed instructions with diagrams and photos for all of the techniques. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn many different techniques. .
This book would make a welcome place in any crafters’ library. The ideas are fresh and laid out well. Photos are important for those of us who. Are intermediate learners. I experimented by creating my first sliding bracelet. Directions were clear but not detailed enough for my experience level (making jewelry for over an 6 years). Yet still will be buying a copy for me!
I received an arc from NetGalley this in exchange for my honest and volunteer review.
This is a well thought out and beautifully photographed craft book that illustrates many different types of crafting to make beautiful bracelets. There are macrame,beading, weaving and leatherwork techniques. Each bracelet pattern is shown with the necessary techniques and step by step instructions to complete. Suggestions for materials and color combinations are included. There are 100 patterns to try but also plenty of guidelines to create your own bracelets as well. This is an inspiring book!
