Hello!!! I have a couple of beading pattens for necklaces and bracelets that I have collected everytime I go to hobbycraft...They are actually free..So, if you have a hobby craft near you...try to get some of their free patterns. They are not only doing free beading patterns but also some crd making and other crafts. .;)

Look on the hobbycraft website too as I think they have projects on there. I bought beads abd a book from Ebay last year, always a good place to start, then top up with main beads from bead shops in Leeds and Manchester. There are mail order bead companies but most seem to charge just for their catalogues!!
