Books and kits
We carry all the beading and jewelry making books we can get our hands on and special order books that are hard to find. We also carry many magazines including Beadwork, Bead and Button and Jewelry Crafts, both current and past issues.
We also carry a line of self-instructional beading kits, called Native Beads. The kits include all the materials you need for a project including instructions, illustrations, picture, needle, thread, beads and findings. The projects were designed to teach a particular technique, like peyote stitch, brick stitch, netting, square stitch and bead chains. They are also labeled according to skill level. They make great gifts and are reasonably priced. Look under New Arrival and Sale Items to see some of the project kits.
