Build your beading skills with this step-by-step guide to capturing the delightful shapes and vibrant colors of beautiful bugs.

Beaded Bugs features thirty fun, easy, and creative projects designed to help beginners learn new beading skills. Based on just six basic prototypes, the projects are graded by difficulty level, so you can start with a quick and simple butterfly before moving on to more complex bees and beetles.

Each project includes full-color photos, illustrations, and step-by-step pattern instructions. The finished bugs can be turned into beautiful jewelry or adornments for key rings, cell phones, and more. The cute critters in Beaded Bugs are based on real species, and the book also includes a few fun facts on each bug to read as you bead.

Beaded Bugs includes:

* A tiny scarab beetle

* A little ladybug

* Beautifully detailed bees with intricately veined wings and striped bodies

* Intricate and colorful butterflies, such as the peacock swallowtail

* 3-D caterpillars and cocoons

*And more!
