Totally Beads (Giggle Fit)
From Booklist In her first book, Bhatt gears her comments and directions to the young at heart. Her 37 items to craft concentrate on hair ornaments and necklaces, bracelets, and anklets; most are fairly simple to fashion, since few emulate specific recognizable objects. Each pattern features a materials list and step-by-step instructions as well as illustrations for most of the processes. A "try this" box of text indicates possible variables--new colors, new sizes, and new shapes. And the book is frontloaded with the how-tos, a good basic explanation of threads, needles, clasps-catches, knots, and other challenges a novice beader just might encounter (for instance, what if my threads run out in the middle?).
