There are colourful necklaces, expandable bracelets, rings, bangles, clasps, buttons, embellished beads and balls. Buy this ebook to learn flat and spherical bead netting – and create your own unique beaded jewellery, shapes and surfaces.

Netted beadwork, one of the earliest beading techniques, is simple to learn and easy to adapt. The tube form of beaded netting is used in many cultures, to cover anything from tassel tops and beads to gourds and bottles. It makes fabulous jewellery.
