Not what I was hoping for

The photos, illustrations and layout are great and on first scrolling I found a few things I wanted to do but once I started working on this I found it the instructions incredibly vague.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

  • Elegant design

Out of 100 designs I've only bookmarked 13 pages that I found interesting, but if you're new to beadwork there are a few easy projects to try. There is also a nice "Basics" section at…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet
