This beginner’s guide includes two projects and five stitches you can learn that will help you to create many different pendants of your own. The Reference Stitch section of this book is a handy guide to take a quick look at how to do a stitch. It also includes bead stitch illustrations as well as written instructions and photos. For your convenience, the projects in this book will have the stitch illustrations again on the instruction pages for each pendant so you don’t have to go back to the reference page. Project one is the easiest and a great self esteem builder for the beginner. Project two, is what I call “free-form”. Free-form is using just about anything that sparks your imagination, the one I have used is not the standard size that most cabochons are. You can take the basics from these two exercises and make your own designs.
