Bead and Button, Ribbon & Felt Jewelry: 35 Sewing-box Treasures to Make & Give

by Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell

Jewelry made from absolutely everything--beads to buttons, felt and wire, strung on ribbon, leather, or twine--has never been more popular. Stores are full of strikingly beautiful but costly examples, but here you can learn quick and easy ways to create your own, utterly unique pieces--using materials you will already have in your sewing box! There are over 35 projects plus variations are featured here, from sophisticated pearl and ribbon necklaces to fun felt and bead designs, from stylish chiffon chokers and drop-bead woven ribbon bracelets to crocheted flower garlands and wired ribbon rosebud corsages. Whether you are looking to make some fun, everyday jewelry, or a stylish design for a special occasion, you will find something here to suit your tastes. Each project is explained in easy-to-follow, illustrated steps, and the variations show how you can develop the techniques to create your own designs. There are color photos on nearly every page.

This book is filled with tons of different ideas that combine different 'tiny treasures' in very creative ways. It has some great inspirational ideas. It is fun to look through just the pictures of the different projects too, as they are surprisingly calming and uplifting to look at. This is a great little book..
