I was looking for projects my cub scouts could make. There is a nice varity of projects and I hope to try some soon. The bead work is beautiful but I think it will be too complicated for the boys.

There is probably way to many good things to say about this book but, myself I've found that every thing that I needed to know to get started into making practical leather and bead work was in this volume, at this time I'm now looking forward to find more things to do. I want to thank everyone for making material like this possiable. Thanks.
