Easy Beading Vol. 5 contains more than 80 projects, 1,000 color photos, and a thorough, illustrated beader’s glossary and basics section. This year the projects are longer than in previous volumes, allowing the reader to experiment. The book is divided into six core chapters, each focusing on different materials: crystals, pearls, mixed, metal and chain, glass, and gemstones. These projects teach readers a variety of beginner techniques, design ideas, shortcuts, and tips they can use right away.
