A fun beading kit that makes a gorgeous and unusual design to wear.

A fun beading kit that makes a gorgeous and unusual design to wear.

Born of a combination of Flat Round Peyote, Square stitch and creative fringing, this lovely little Japanese lantern is one of the nicest kits I’ve seen in a while.

Available in luscious shades of blue, green and purple with nine pages of instructions for completing the lantern, fringe and hanger. Beatrice does a superb job of guiding us through the steps, making sense of a complex design. The kit assumes a familiarity with square stitch and offers a link to Anne Hawley’s site for the flat round Peyote tutorial.

If you're looking for a beading project that is unique, gorgeous and challenging, this is the bead kit you'll want. At only $80.00, this one will keep an experienced beader happy for hours!
