This comprehensive guide offers step-by-step instructions and clear diagrams for two traditional bead applications: bead weaving and appliqu beading. You'll find 50 versatile designs charted on graph paper and 21 full-size patterns, including transfer instructions and color keys. Learn to construct your own bead loom and choose from a rich array of motifs rendered from authentic American Indian artifacts, such as stars, exciting geometrics, sunbursts, and exquisite florals. Beadcrafting is surprisingly easy to learn, offering hours of enjoyment and satisfaction. Use the techniques to create eye-catching accessories like belts, headbands, sashes, and necklaces, or decorate leather, denim, and other fabrics for handbags, vests, and blouses.
