A favorite way for folks who want to use beads and seaglass to make beautiful pieces; especially, for folks just learning how to make jewelry, since the materials are economical, which means you don't have a lot of upfront costs to get started. Starting out can be a bit overwhelming, largely because there are vast numbers of bead selections. If you visit any craft store it's likely you'll be confronted with row after row of beads in just about every feasible texture, shape and color. Knowing where to begin, and which beads to select can be confusing at first. A good idea for a beginner is to surf pictures and websites, and look at various sorts of hand-crafted jewelry that are made from seaglass and beads, to see if a particular style stands apart that they might want to recreate it. The craft stores may also have numerous publications readily available for making jewelry with seaglass and beads for those who are interested in pursuing the craft. In case you are new to jewelry making, you have got to obtain a few items that you will absolutely need to have in order to make beaded jewelry. Definitely, you have got to get some beads. Start out with a varied selection of shapes and sizes that are pierced in the center for threading and stringing purposes. There are many varieties of beads to choose from, such as beads made from plastic, metal, wood, crystal, seaglass, clay and semi-precious stones. There are lots of types and styles, so have fun deciding on a few for your first bead project. The purchase price of beads will fluctuate based on both the material of the bead, as well as its overall quality. Avoid buying a lot of beads at first, although it's hard not too, but all the options may make it harder to get started on your first piece. Making a bead budget is recommended, so that you won't overspend, and a great figure to start with is between $10 to $20 dollars. Keep in mind that you will want to purchase accessories that go with the jewelry pieces too, such as wire, eye pins, clasps, stringing materials and jump rings. Jump rings are spherical pieces of wire which are split, so that they can be closed and opened and help hold pieces together, such as on a charm bracelet. A clasp is what is used to seal off the end of the bracelet or necklace, and makes it possible to take the bracelet off or on. You may wish to use wire, instead of cloth string, for metal beads or precious stones, so that it will be more secure and not break like a cloth string might. It comes in different widths and lengths, so ask a craft store expert and employee for some recommendations on which wire material is ideal for your needs. You'll also want to equip yourself with tools, such as wire or thread cutters and chain nose pliers for sealing beads and wires together. It might be tempting to get the least expensive tools, but they could end up damaging your jewelry, so it's worth the cost, in the long run, to buy higher quality tools.
