May/June 2008 July/August Step by Step Beads is on newsstands! Look for the tasty pink, orange and purple cover. You’ll go wild for the projects we’ve cooked up this summer, from the easy-to-make jump ring and dangle necklace on the cover to two fabulous peyote patterns that help you learn to read a bead chart. There’s lush stringing with pearls, coral and more oceanic treasures, a macramé anklet, and several habit-forming beaded beads. We share tips on blending polymer colors and wire up fiber beads for real summer sizzle.

PLUS… Don't miss the special section of Bead Fest coupons inside! Be sure to also visit www.beadfest.com for more exciting offers for all your summer beading needs, and all the details about Bead Fest Philadelphia, August 22-24.

NEW! Step by Step Beads now has an online forum! Join our enthusiastic community of readers and beaders (and editors!) at beadingdaily.com/forums.
