Book excerpt: If you are new to beaded ornament covers, then this is the book for you. Chapters 1 and 2 cover all the basics you need to know. The projects in Chapters 3 through 7 are all designed for beginners, with each one getting a little more technical than the last so you can build up your skills as you work your way through the book. Step by step color photo illustrations take you through each project, showing what your piece should look like as you work. Even with only these five designs there are lots of possibilities. Just changing the color of the beads and ornaments can look like a whole new creation. As you get more adventurous, you can experiment with fringe patterns and different beads for lots of different looks.
