Bead Unique™ Magazine showcases how beads can accent
every aspect of our lives. Start with beaded jewelry, altered
embellishments, and home décor. Sprinkle in a few adorned textiles,
creative threads, and jeweled fashions to find just the right project
or interest for you! Articles feature innovative, original projects for
all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced.

Each project includes easy-to-follow step-by-step photos and well-written
instructions, as well as an explanation of the creative inspiration behind the
featured beadwork. In addition to outstanding bead jewelry, art jewelry, home décor, and fashion art, we offer detailed and consistent information on techniques, new products, book and educational reviews, and unique materials in the marketplace.
