Jewelry Making Ideas
You could search for weeks on the internet to find Jewelry Making Ideas and come up with a great selection. However, if you are new to this great hobby, there’s not much out there for beginners.
Before you can start creating your own jewelry using beads you need to know the basics and get some idea of what you want to make. What will you need to get started without breaking the bank ? The best place to start is your local craft store. Here there is usually someone on hand to give you advice. Tell them that you are new to beading/making your own jewelry and ask for the best value basic kit.
Here’s what I recommend you buy to get you started :
Round Nose Pliers
Flat Nose Pliers
Cutters
Box of assorted beads
Nylon/Elastic thread
Earring findings
To make a basic pair of earrings you will need to know how to make a simple loop and use the cutters.
Follow these steps to get the hang of it.
