The second in the OTT embellishment series. Ideal for any textile enthusiast who wishes to create complimentary beaded embellishments. Exploring simple yet effective techniques that require little or no equipment. The second in the series is: Round the Beading Twist and looks at new ideas for the beaded twisted cord.

In order to avoid repetition and to dedicate more space to new ideas, it has been assumed that readers are familiar with book one Round the Twist. This second book looks at how techniques described in book one can be combined with beads to create stunning new cords. It also includes a few more methods that can be used with, or without beads. You can use any type of bead and you can incorporate them with all sorts of cords. The samples in this book will give you a few ideas to get you started, but there are many, many more waiting to be discovered. Twisted cords make ideal trimmings for fashion and furnishings, especially when they are tailor-made for the project. There are numerous other uses including cords for glasses, bag handles and jewellery. The beaded cords are particularly well suited for making into jewellery and can even be especially colour co-ordinated for particular outfits!

There are over 40 samples giving full instructions, fully illustrated with diagrams and photos. Full colour throughout.
