LitPick Review
Cool Jewels is an arts and craft type of book. It is
filled with almost a hundred pages split up into groups of
beautiful bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and even a small
section of other items that can be made with beads. The
beginning of the book gives generic instructions about
different tools, beads, and teaches you some of the basics
of making jewelry. The jewelry featured in this book are
extremely fun and colorful. The pages are filled with
diverse and unique pictures. Cool Jewels has many
different jewelry project ideas.
Opinion:
<p>I think this book is
right by being targeted towards teenagers. For younger
children it would be more difficult and not be considered
beginner. The book has (for the most part) simple and easy
directions. The directions are not too wordy and above are
pictures showing what to do, but pictures are not always
easy to follow. Most of the jewelry in this book take a
decent amount of time to make. A piece of jewelry that is
easy for one to make, may be difficult for another to,
depending on artistic talent. When making your jewelry,
you have to know that yours will not turn out exactly the
same. The technique, skill, and the beads are going to be
different. Although, the author does include many store
names where you can buy similar beads and tools. Cool
Jewels provides fun time to spend with friends on a rainy
day.
