The Jewelry Recipe Book takes materials available at large craft stores (as well as specialty and artisan shops on Etsy)—beads, shrink plastic, leather, lace, pearls, sequins, polymer clay, yarn, and pinecones, to name a few—and transforms them into one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery. Each of the 35 mini chapters organized by material consists of three projects and three skill levels, adding up to more than 100 stunning piece. Every piece is beautifully photographed, as are the majority of how-to steps, and the information is presented in an easy-to-follow way within the brand template of the Recipe Books. The book also includes an overview of simple jewellery-making techniques and tips, with best practices for how to work with various materials; how to wear jewellery; and how to work with design elements that include colour, scale, and shape.
