Brazilian Bracelets: Making Friendship Bracelets & MoreGood instructions for the bracelets provided. The most advanced item here is a hair wrap. The simplest include thin bracelets using only a few strands. If you grew up making these, you'll find the classics (v, x, and/or stripes). There are directions for adding beads to your designs.
My biggest issue with this book is that some of the directions feel incomplete for people truly new to the craft. One example would be the first braid instruction (3 strands). How to braid is not included in techniques. If someone has never braided anything before then this book will be of no help as the directions for a simple braid (which tell you it's not rocket science) simply state "begin to braid". The more advanced 4 braid bracelet is just as bad (a braid I never bothered doing so this would be of no help to me).
Most of the other instructions are more clear, including pictures to at least start your design).
A good book for those wanting to learn the craft, but you may need to learn some of the techniques in detail before starting.
