Little Bead Boxes

Julia S. Pretl provides crafters with her own unique method for creating decorative beaded boxes and lids in a wide range of surface designs and shapes. Working only with cylinder and seed beads, as well as a needle and thread, crafters can create an impressive array of clever and colourful miniature containers. The book contains step-by-step illustrations and easy-to-follow word graphs and patterns, as Pretl leads the reader through the techniques for creating three-sided, five-sided and six-sided rectangular, square and stacked boxes. Four-colour photographs of each of the 12 designs introduce each set of instructions, and detailed drawings illustrate the beading techniques. The simple, easy-to-use and attractive format of the book will make it the ideal companion for anyone wishing to enter into or improve upon this exciting craft.
