Book excerpt: This book features beaded baubles, snowflakes, stars, delicate fun earrings and a stunning holly wreath. There are beautiful projects for beginners like the Cygnus Bauble and Christmas Present Earrings, a step-up to such delights as the Vela Star and Celestial Bauble designs through to the Wenceslas and Owl baubles that are perfect for the more experienced beader. Each major project is fully illustrated with step-by-step instructions and lots of diagrams to guide the beader through the making process. 'A large format book in full colour filled with beautiful beaded baubles and some of the best, most foolproof instructions and diagrams you will find anywhere. I can testify to this because I learnt beadwork by making up kits produced by this company and went from total novice to selling projects to magazines in the space of a few months.' www.myshelf.com
