Keiko SakamotoDIY Wrap Bracelets: 22 Designs Using Beads, Thread, Charms, Ribbon, Cord and More

Well written book. Very nicely designed and photographed. Clear instructions.

This is a great book if you are looking for a comprehensive book on making simple wrap bracelets. While the bracelets are simple, the bracelet designs are very nice, contemporary and look like many of the bracelets that you see in many expensive magazines and boutiques. The directions are very clear, and comprehensive. For example, for the bracelet that looks very much like the expensive Lau bracelet, I took a class that left me with shoddy bracelets that didn't hold up to the normal wear and tear. The directions here have you going back through the bead to make a more secure attachment. While it might be hard to picture this in my review, the book has clear drawings that are easy to follow.Watch the price before you buy—this book seems to go up and down in price. I was able to purchase it for ~$9.00. Well worth it!

I have looked at a lot of wrap bracelet books and rejected all of them until I got this one. It has a nice start if you've never made the basic wrap, as well as the friendship bracelets beloved by teens. But what distinguishes this book is the bracelets, and necklaces, that build on these basics. Many lovely, original ideas, clearly explained without excessive chattiness or over the top styling. Beautiful, but useful, photographs. Good for beginners on up.

I just got this book today and looked through it and am eager to start making bracelets. The pictures are well done and clear, the projects contain materials list and easy to follow diagrams, and the color combinations and styles are inspiring. It doesn't just cover bracelets but also suggest adaptations for some of the designs into necklaces and earrings. There's even a project for a bracelet with a brooch where the brooch can be worn standalone. I love that the projects use a nice mix of different materials and beads. It is a good jump start for beginners and still suitable for intermediate makers.

If you are new to jewelry making this book is a great buy. It's much cheaper getting it online then going and buying it in a bookstore or a crafting store. This book has helped me out a great deal with its clear step by step how too. If you are anything like me and like to copy from pictures rather than read this book is also good for that as well.

Wonderful book with lots of different bracelet designs, pictures and detailed instructions! I highly recommend this book for bracelet loom making projects.

This is a great book with nice illustrations and good directions. I have made several bracelets and look forward to making more. Pictures are great.

Good technique material

Surprisingly the book is simple, interesting and instructions are clear. Many designs for different projects.
