Little Bead Boxes: 12 Miniature Boxes Built with Beads

As beautiful as these boxes look, the instructions are even more "beautiful". Yes, YOU CAN make these boxes! Of course, working with seed beads takes patience, and it's kind of important to actually read the instructions and then actually follow them (a word to the wise, and to some of the unhappy reviewers- follow instructions!- what a concept!). I've been beading for only 3 years, and believe me, Julia's instructions are excellent. She took great pains to explain her designs and technique so that you can really make what you see pictured. This book is more than worth the price, as the designs are gorgeous, and what beader wouldn't want to make one?! Don't hesitate to buy this book- you'll love it!

this book is a marvel of architecture - geometry and just plain gorgeous little boxes. i recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn exquisite construction technique.

Another great book by Julia - The designs and color combinations are gorgeous and the instructions are relatively easy to follow if you have had some experience with increasing and decreasing using the peyote stitch. Looking forward to the next beading book Julia brings out - keep up the great work Julia :-)

I love this book. I have already made three boxes from the book, including the beautiful flower box on the cover. I was a little intimidated when I first read at the instructions, but they turned out to easy to follow and the boxes come out perfectly. I am now looking forward to trying out Julia's knit bags from her other book. Happy beading.

I really liked this book. It was challenging and the finished product was great! A little bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of the directions, ie word graphs, it is a breeze to follow. Great picture graphs and the extra blank graphs at the back of the book are a fantastic perk. Very satisfying end product. Highly recommend for intermediat to advanced beaders.
