This is an instruction book with supplies for beginning paper beading. My niece, age 12, was very happy with the book as she was able start beading immediately. Very good illustrations for the rolling techniques. While adults might find this a bit scant, it is ideal for elementary to high school. Because it is self-contained, it is a perfect travel gift.
My 9 year-old and 12 year-old granddaughters LOVE the paper bead book and papers. They like the fact the papers are double-sided so they can choose one paper, or alternate with a matching color. The instructions are easy in the book and the girls love the variety of ideas for different styles of jewelry. They have been rolling beads all afternoon. There is a sufficient amount of pre-cut papers, but the girls wish there were hundreds more. With the things we learned from the book, we can cut our own papers or do as the book suggests and use old magazine covers. I am very glad I purchased the book and kit. This will be an activity we will do many times over the years. I am going to buy another book to give to a different granddaughter for her birthday.
This is the best jewelry kit I have used in years! The paper beads are easy to make, and so are the designs! I would suggest making all the beads first, then using them in the jewelry designs. When my mom got me this kit I was so excited I woke up at six to do it! I loved this kit!
After I was not able to afford the glass beads I was accustomed to buying in the past, I decided to try paper beads and see how that went. This book is simple to read, the directions are very easy, and I am proud to be making jewelry with my handmade beads. I have branched out from the paper in the book to news paper, and magazines and I am very happy with the items included in the book. Its a fun and relaxing craft!
This book and the instructions were easy to follow. The glue was not the best, so plan to use another medium. From decoupage, to a glue stick, ot bead glaze, it is easy and really pretty to make these. Once you get the technique, you can use any paper. The tool is short, but really useful as it has a slit in the metal part that holds the paper while you roll. Overall, I would recommend this as a starter for anyone who is intersted in learning to make paper beads. But beware..you will get hooked and lose sleep making these and the ideas that come to mind.
I got this as a gift for a young teen who loves crafts but has very few supplies of her own. She received it on a Saturday afternoon, and had made several bracelets by the next day. She is very happy with it, and excited that she can continue to use it with magazine pages, etc., when the included supplies are used up. Klutz books are always fun and colorful with well-written and well-illustrated instructions.
This book and kit is a wonderful introduction to paper bead making. My 12 year old granddaughter made a wonderful bracelet within minutes of getting this kit. The book gives clear instructions and the materials are all you need to get started.
fun book for any age. so simple to follow the directions. a child could do it or an old lady like I.my 7 year old granddaughter was also able to follow the directions and turned out many beads to work with.so, if you want a new project for your old paper get the book and get to work!!
