About the book >.>.> Making beads is fun. The activity also provides a stimulating theme linking the practical aspect and the associations of beads with mythology history geography nature study and simple technology. Beads can be inexpensively and easily made of almost anything from seeds to bones and plastic lids. Mary Seyd shows clearly how to saw and cut the material into bead shapes how to drill holes in the beads for stringing and how to finish the edges. Mary Seyd gives details of how to make beads from slips of paper and how to model them out of papier m?ch? flower paste plaster gesso and clay. She also shows how to turn found objects such as bottle tops plastic straws and toothpaste tube caps and natural objects such as shells seeds and pebbles into beads. This lively and practical introduction to the world of beads provides a source of inspiration to parents and children. To students teachers and club leaders in a class with a wide-ability range or in a craft centre for the disabled the book will be no less valuable.
