Probably a good sourcebook for total beginners and people who look for super easy projects. Or use it as decoration. Photos are visually pleasing. For everyone else though. Most of the projects involve attaching beads with head and loop pins into chainand wire and if you wish to attach them on clothing then applying either glue or sewing.
There are plenty of other beading books that will tell you about these basic things with just few photos and lot more challening projects.
