[Nfb-krafters-korner] Basic Beading Information

[River Woman]

Here are some basic beading videos and books that I recommend for a beginner:

How to string a bracelet -

Another good one:

Very good video on making a beaded necklace and covers basic tools and techniques:

How to do a knotted pearl necklace. I like this one as it does not have a voice description, but a text description and there are close ups running along with the text for those who can see through Zoom Text.

How to Make Beaded Earrings (Cluster Drop Earrings):

My BOOK Recommendations:

Book Title:  Beading
Author:  Alice Korach


Book:  The Art of Beadwork (historic overview of bead possibilities)
Author: Valerie Hector


Book:  Bead Love (very nice BASIC book for techniques)
Author:  Jane Laferla

Also, you can find some good books at your local bead store if you are lucky enough to have one in your town.
Check the book racks at JoAnn's and Michaels, too.

A new year, a new project!
