Jewelry making has always been a popular hobby but in recent years it has become more mainstream which in turn has meant that the materials need have become very accessible for all.
If you are looking at how to make bead jewelry then you need to choose from the two main types of beading. The first is stringing beads and the other is wire-working with beads, both of which are very effective. There are many materials available for beading, from the wire or beading string you use to the clasps you use to finish your piece. That is without mentioning the thousands of beads you can choose from.
If you are looking to start beading then you are better off first buying a 'how to make bead jewelry' guide to find out exactly what materials you need before you start buying. The materials used are very accessible and inexpensive so you may find yourself getting carried away buying items you do not need. If this happens you could find yourself overwhelmed with ideas and getting the basics wrong. It is a good decision to just buy what you need to complete a design with full instructions so you can get a feel for things and learn a few techniques without getting overwhelmed by designing.
The best thing you can do when you are just starting out is to buy cheap beading supplies so you can practise without worrying about using pieces due to their price. Beads can be bought in thousands of different shapes and colors, as well as a full range of prices. Choose cheap beads to use while you are learning unless you are planning on taking your work apart so you can reuse the beads when you have gained experience.
Many people who enjoy making bead jewelry take their hobby to the next level and sell their pieces ask either a small business or just to fund more materials. When you are at this level you want to invest in a good beading board to help you design. This is also the time to go out and buy in bulk as this will give you plenty of different styles to beads to experiment with.

Beading: Getting Started with a Wonderful Hobby

2009-07-03T09:12:00.001+08:00

By Pamela Bruce

Making your own bead jewelry is a creative hobby that allows you to produce unique pieces for yourself, family and friends. Here is how you can get started.

If you ever asked yourself "couldn't I do that myself?" as you looked through rows of bead bracelets, necklaces or earrings at a trendy boutique, the answer is yes. Beading is a creative and entertaining hobby that not only will have you produce unique, handmade items of jewelry, but will also be a source of amazing gift ideas for family and friends.

The first step would be to find a good local bead shop. While there are wonderful mail order catalogs and websites that will sell you all the supplies, nothing substitutes for the support and advice of experienced sales personnel. Ideally, this store would also offer a number of beginning classes that would help you learn basic techniques (if there is no bead shop in your town, some introductory books such as The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beading will have to do).

Start with a simple project, such as a bracelet or basic necklace, and do not go overboard with expensive beads and findings (clasps etc.). I know you are probably itching to use Swarovski crystal, sterling silver and semi-precious beads, but you can work up to that later. Some stores will even offer packaged starter kits that may include a beading board (which helps you with project layout and measurements), some basic tools, beads, wire, findings and a how-to-book.

You should then set up your "beading space" – preferably an uncluttered, well-lit area. You might have to invest in a good lamp, maybe one combined with a magnifying lens. Remember, you will be stringing some rather tiny objects. Make sure you have enough containers to keep different types and colors of beads separate – nothing will spoil your joy of beading like having to hunt for a single bead in a jumbled pile. Beading stores will sell you various storage systems (including beading bags for the beader-on-the-go), but you can also experiment with plastic containers meant to hold small hardware or fishing tackle.

Well, there you are ready for your first bead jewelry project. Don't forget to protect your beading space from curious cats and toddlers. Happy beading!
