Every crafter's dream is a magazine filled from cover to cover with beautiful and simple projects, accompanied by clear instructions. If you're into beading you don't have to look any longer. Simply Beads is a beader's bi-monthly dream magazine.

Simply Beads contains much more than just jewelry projects, but also projects to make stunning fan pulls, colorful beaded jars, suede-accented bookmarks, and my personal favorite, sassy belt-loop chains. The photographs are exquisite and clearly depict the finished project. "Ask Katie" is an informative Q & A column. A product section will make you drool and rush to buy the items.

I particularly enjoyed an article titled "Pliers 101 - Building Your Jewelry-Making Toolbox." I learned what pliers to use for each project or type of material called for in the project.

This beading magazine also has information about beads and beading that can be transferred to quilting, scrapbooking or card making.

Simply Beads can be obtained by subscription, in stores, or by contacting SimplyBeadsMagazine.com. If you read just one issue, you'll be hooked. We at Armchair Interviews recommend Simply Beads.
