Great step-by-step instructions.......2007-07-08
I already knew how to make friendship bracelets, but if I didn't, this book would be a great way to learn. The instructions are very clear. It was wonderful for learning new patterns, too.
Friendship bracelets are a big hit........2007-01-18
I bought six of these for christmas presents for my nieces and daughters of close friends. The age range was from 8 to 11 years old, they loved them! Every one of them raved about it and couldn't wait to get together with their friends to start making them. My one niece said she was gonna save hers for her upcoming slumber party, which led to my sister thinking about buying one for each girl attending the slumber party as the party favor instead of a bag of candy and chotchki's.
Wonderful! .......2006-11-16
I love this book! It gives clear, easy-to-follow instructions, with clear illustrations.
I have tried several so far, and have gotten all of them right. I am making a bunch to take as gifts to my cousins this Thanskgiving. I was able to make 7 bracelets, 3 kinds, in 1 1/2 hours! I love it! Embroidery floss works just as good after the thread is gone.
Fun summer activity for the kids.......2006-06-30
This is a great activity book for the kids over the summer. However, some of the projects will require adult supervision just because they are a bit involved. My children are ten, six and six and were able to do some of the bracelets & bookmark tassles by themselves with a good amount of self satisfaction. I also purchased additional, thicker cording at the discount craft store and it seems to be much easier for the kids to work with.
This is a Great Book!.......2006-05-09
I bought this book about two year back and it's wonderful! I've made all of the designs, and they are quite easy after you get the hang of it. My friends and I started selling these bracelets a couple months back! These bracelets are a great thing to make anytime, and this book really helps you get started!
Product Description

Fun fun fun!!!.......2003-07-22
...BR>This is an awesome book made by real people ... and by an awesome company! My cousin has this book and I have done three of the rings already. They are easy to do and the directions are well explained and not too complex.
The rings include: simple ring (you should learn to do this first), twisted ring, chain, vine, butterfly, starburst, and daisy chain. This book has plenty of beads so you can do your favorite rings over and over!
The only complaint I have is there's this stupid bead wheel (you've seen it on the front picture) and the colors get mixed up if you take it on a car trip, or when you're flipping through different colors.
Otherwise, this is a great book and I highly reccomend it for someone who is interested in making bead rings!
Irresistible.......2000-12-07
I tried not to buy this book for a long time. It seemed like I could figure it out myself, and I have a lot of craft books already. There is something so wonderful, however, about having crystal clear instructions and all the right supplies right in front of you. With this book, there's nothing to "figure out" (unless you want to vary the patterns). You can just relax and make some adorable jewelry. These are quick to make and look quite nice. This is another Klutz book that I'll take to the craft class I run with teens. My complaints about the book: the bead wheel doesn't work well--beads get stuck and shoved into other compartments or fall out the sides. The bead colors are mixed together in color families, which is a real pain when you're trying to get all one color. There is variety in colors, but not in beads. A flower bead or two (like the one in one of the book's pictures) would have been nice. Still, the patterns are pretty, quick, and do-able. The variety of representative designs (butterfly, flower) and pretty patterns (chain)is good. It's a fine little book.
a crazy klutz fan.......2000-10-17
this great book provides materials for doing all the rings.the instructions are clear and easy to follow and there are great designs of rings too , like a beautiful butterfly on the ring , a vine... this book is affordable and those who are interested in this, you can start on this book! It's gonna be fun!
Klutz books rule..........2000-06-15
I must say, this is another awesome klutz book. The instructions are clear and well illustrated and easy to follow. The rings are nice, and range from very simple to quite complex. And of course, you can always make bracelets and neclaces as well, just use more wire.
The whole idea behind these books is just so well executed. The seem a little expensive, but they come with everything you need to get started, so really, they aren't. And it saves you that part where you buy the book and then run around spending all sorts of money to make sure that you have everything you need. Or worse, never making anything from the book because you can't be bothered to go out and get what you need. This book, or any of the other klutz books, make excellent gifts for the young or young-at-heart, just for this reason.
One word of warning with this one. I dropped it, and the bead container top popped off. It could have been nasty, this book comes with a lot of beads, and they're tiny! Luckily, only a few were spilled, and I transferred the beads to something a little more secure.
Buy this one and enjoy it. I also recommend hair wraps and hemp bracelets from the same series.
I loved it!.......2000-03-26
Hi! Ok well I just ordered this book again for a niece of mine. I have the book at home and I just love it the instructions are so easy to follow! I would recomend this to anyone who loves beautiful fashionable jewlery!
Product Description

Wow! What a deal! Hemp is worth much more than this. Uh... I forget... what are we reviewing here? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. pffffffffffftt. exhale.
Hemp Hemp Hemp!.......2005-08-14
Fun and easy. Although it does smell a bit, but the smell is of....hemp!
Great introduction to making Hemps!.......2003-03-06
I have to say that I love this book! I'll admit that it did not come with enough beads or hemp, but you can buy those cheaply at any craft store!! This book has so many patterns to try, and gives the simplest directions! I would definately reccomend this book to people, because it is fun and easy. *I would reccomend it for kids 9 and up*
Decent Introduction.......2002-01-24
The knots are easy to learn and usually described clearly except for every twist of the spiral on the bracelet (about four separate knots) then the braiding cords start to twist, too. You can essentially change direction every 4 knots to take out the difficulty in the braiding cords. If this doesn't make sense, just try to do the spiral as described in the book and you will find the braiding cords get twisted up. Also there were definitely *not* enough beads. Right after getting the book, I bought a bag of plastic pony beads to practice more. I really enjoy making these bracelets, but overall I expected more out of this book. I recommend it as a decent introduction to hemp beading which is an exceptionally enjoyable craft.
This book is KNOT good, it's great!.......2000-07-21
This was a good book, and I loved doing all the knots and especially not having to go buy everything for it. All you have to do is get a pair of scissors and begin. Out comes professional jewelry that you will love. So, I guess you are wondering why I gave it 4 stars. Because the knots don't stay. Several times the knots came out on the bracelets. If you want the bracelet to just stay on, it won't. If you plan to take it off all the time, the loop and knot idea is cool. Secondly, there are two designs that you have to used your own judgment on how big the loops should be and if it's straight. I'm a perfectionist, so that was a challenge for me. All in all, I am harsh just giving it just 4 stars,butI will still recommend it to my friends.

Book Description
In the spirit of her playful and popular first book, Totally Beads, Sonal Bhatt presents children with a delightful collection of more than 20 beaded animals, fruits, sea creatures, and even people. Bright, colorful, and utterly appealing, they’re great for adorning clothing, decorating book bags, wearing as jewelry, giving as gifts, or just showing off. And best of all, each vibrantly illustrated and carefully explained project is fun to make and well within the ability of kids trying this craft for the first time. A thorough introduction presents all the basics, from stringing to knotting, right at the start. Youngsters age 7 and up (pre-teens too!) will love fashioning a ladybug, butterfly, bat, seahorse, mermaid, bunny, grapes, and much more.

Beads and critters, this must be what the beatles meant by come together.......2006-05-13
This might be one of the most amazing craft books ever composed. Your kids will be better people after building these critters.
These critters are fun to make!.......2006-02-19
I've made several of the critters and found the directions easy to follow and accurate. For younger children, using regular pony beads and waxed linen (increasing the length of the cord by at least 1 1/2 times)makes it easy for little fingers to master with just a bit of help. I plan to make more for Christmas ornaments next year.

Best Book !!.......2002-08-01
This book is great it has great instructions to follow and beautiful designs. It has from beads to threads, by far is the best book I've seen on how to make friendship bracelets. I'm a 15 year old girl and I've been making this bracelts for a long time now and this book has help me devoped new techniques on how to make this braceltes. I would definetly recommended to everyone!!!!
A Groovy Book!!!!!!!!!!!!.......1999-07-21
This a good book for beginners who want to learn how to braid or bead. And also good for the more experienced who want to learn different types/styles of beading and braiding!!
Found the book to be quiet informing, but hard to understand.......1998-09-05
This book was a very good source of information for me being an advanced bracelet maker. The only down side was that the instructions were hard to follow.
A great book for a vacation.......1998-08-17
Clear writing and a careful, useable system of multicolored diagrammatic notation make this a really good book for the more complicated designs in friendship bracelet knotting. It also covers circular beaded peyote stitch, braided bracelets, and hair wraps. Pretty and useful pictures, too. I think a knotting-savvy, motivated ten- or twelve-year old would enjoy it, but I wouldn't use it as a substitute for a simpler introduction like Gryski's. Get them both.

Book Description

Customer Reviews:
great hair ornaments for cheap.......2003-08-20
I love this book. It is easy to use and turns out beautiful beads. The one thing it lacks is a ruler. I used a permanent marker to make a ruler on the inside back cover. Then all you need is wire cutters and you're ready to start crafting!
Pin a Star on This One.......2000-06-24
This book is not only easy to use, providing all supplies along with crystal-clear insructions, but the results are also spectacular. Whenever I wear a pin in my hair, people ask about it, and always respond, "You MADE that?" The only complaint I have is with the dragonfly instructions. It looks much better to use two E beads with a faceted bead in the middle for the body and tiny seed beads for the eyes. Look at the pictures to get ideas for your favorite construction. The pictures in this book are a true inspiration. I love making these pins and have become an addict.
This is a really cute book!.......2000-01-01
I bought this book shortly after receiving a ton of beads for Christmas and I had a great time making these! They are easy to make and the instructions are simple and clear. The best part is that it comes with all that you make them. The bobby pins turn out beautiful and I love wearing them in my hair!
Great Fun.......1999-12-14
I bought this book hoping to learn a new skill--and I did. The instructions are simple to follow, and quite varied, enabling the reader to make a wide assorment of designs. Most importantly, all materials needed come with the book. Although I purchased additional beads, wire, and pins so as to not yet take the supplementary package apart, I was still able to make some beautiful hair assortments. What's great is that these bobby pins take so little time to make, and they can be customized to an infinate extent.
Do it yourself hair art.......1999-12-07
As a mom of a 10 year old girl, I appreciated the clear instructions and ideas in this book. Any child who has mastered the "beadie buddies" with pony beads can decorate bobby pins with the dazzling beads in this book/kit. Besides building self esteem and a sense of accomplishment, these creations can take the place of hair ornaments that can become costly. The patterns in the book could be adapted to other sizes of beads for camp necklaces, too. This is one to have fun with together.
Customer Reviews:
First book I bought about friendship bracelets..........2004-06-03
While probably not the best book in the world to learn how to make friendship bracelets from, this is an excellent book for advanced bracelet makers to learn different techniques. The colour diagrams assisted throughout the more difficult of patterns, the descriptions/instructions easy to understand when used with the colour diagrams, and the results are very pleasing.
Very good book........2003-03-10
My daughter bought this book and she has made some really beautiful weaves with it. She says that its the best book she has found. Very good diagrams also.
Great Book For Experienced Braiders!.......1998-10-15
Friendship Bracelets is a great book lacking only in one area. The designs are superb, using varying knotting techniqes, in various creative designs. However, the instructions, on how to make the designs, are extremely poor. The instructions are far more complicated then they need to be. This book would probably be best used by an adult who allready had experience making bracelets this way. Children may not have the patience for these compilcated designs.
