Now
you can learn how to make beautiful bracelets, earrings and necklaces using some
of the best-selling bead instruction booklets in the country! Written by award-winning
artist and teacher, Lillian Todaro, these invaluable guides include step-by-step,
fully illustrated instructions, examples, tips, and much more. Lilly offers you
a system of inter-related books and projects that takes you from the basic stitches
you need all the way through the intermediate and advance techniques she invented
and/or perfected to create award-winning beadwork.
Inspired by actual use in her classes, each booklet covers
a specific technique used to create a project, and is easy-to-understand and
learn. These instructions are not only tested and proven, they have been refined
over the years to make each project an easy and enjoyable experience, no matter
your level of expertise.
Lilly says, "I believe in 'beading, not reading' so
text is kept to a minimum with the emphasis on BIG easy-to-follow illustrations
and photos. Many of these projects, you can complete in an afternoon or weekend.
And the more you bead, the faster and more proficient you will become."
Companion kits include quality components, which make it
easier to create each piece and enhance the experience of learning while creating. All

Spiral Bangle
Bracelet, Earrings, Necklace Projects (Beginner to Intermediate)
Lilly says, "This is my most popular project, the Peyote Spiral. I call
it a "big bang for your buck project" because it looks complicated
and sophisticated. However it is easy to learn and make. I take you through it
one bead at a time. This one booklet shows you how to make everything! Bracelets,
necklaces and earrings."
The Spiral Peyote stitch book and kits have been so popular, we added this
Book Two with three more different Spiral projects. They take you from very
easy beginner to intermediate to advanced.
• Lazy Pearl Spiral
• Ndebele Spiral Necklace
• Big Bang Spiral Bracelet
This project uses a combination of the flat-peyote stitch and the Ndebele
weave, to create the perfect-shaped triangles. Learn to make four different triangles
and a 3-dimensional triangle that makes a perfect toggle clasp. Make a bracelet
and learn the techniques to make spectacular necklaces, too!
These bracelet looks like colorful, hard candies all strung together. In reality,
they are made of individual beads woven together into a tube of larger beads,
which creates the illusion of a multicolored candy bangle bracelet
