A person could get overwhelmed at the many options of beads and seaglass to pick from to make their jewelry piece. When you shop for beads at a craft store, you may notice isles of beads in a variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and textures to select from. Initially, a new person starting out with making jewelry could get perplexed as to the best beads to pick, because of the variety. A good thing to do to begin with is to search pictures, websites and books that concentrate on beaded jewelry, and see if you can find particular styles that speak to you, or looks that you aspire to recreate. Another valuable resource that will coach you on techniques, and help you get ideas are from craft stores, because they usually offer instructions or classes to people to help them learn how to do it. When making beaded jewelry, there are some definite beginner materials that you will need in order to get going. Definitely, you will have to get some beads. Try to acquire a number of shapes and sizes that have a hole in the middle of the bead, so that you can thread your beads with a string or wire to make the jewelry. There are many varieties of beads to choose from, such as beads made from plastic, wood, metal, seaglass, clay, crystal and semi-precious stones. There are many styles and types, so have fun picking out a few for your first bead project. The beads will be different in cost on account of what material they are made from, and the general quality of the bead. For starters, try not to overbuy and get too many beads, which can be an issue with so many fun options. Try to set a budget at around $10 or $20 dollars to give yourself enough beads to try out before spending more. Aside from beads you'll want to make sure that you have accent materials, such as stringing materials, clasps, jump rings, eye pins and wires. Jump rings are necessary to jewelry making, because it is the round wire that is split, that closes and opens to attach pieces together, like you will spot in a charm bracelet. Of course, the clasp is essential, as well, because it secures the two end pieces of a necklace or bracelet together. You would want to use wire, rather than cloth string, for metal beads or precious stones, so that it will be more secure and not break like a cloth string might. Acquire some recommendations, from a craft store employee or person who makes jewelry, to get their opinion on what length and width of the wire you'll need for your particular piece. You'll also want to acquire tools, such as wire or thread cutters and chain nose pliers for securing beads and wires together. You may well be tempted to choose the least expensive tools, but you would be doing yourself, and the jewelry, an injustice, because the cheap tools wind up breaking and/or destroying your materials in the process.
