With over 100 projects and 40 different techniques, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re drawn to colourful Brazilian friendship styles, intricate beadwork, or elegant ribbon-wrapped chains. The visual, step-by-step photography is a huge help, showing each stage clearly so you can follow along without second-guessing.I particularly like how the book encourages experimentation. You can play with colour, texture, and pattern to make each bracelet uniquely your own—or to craft something thoughtful for someone else. Handmade bracelets make the most meaningful gifts, not just because they’re beautiful, but because of the time and love woven into them.
