Beginner Jewelry Making Resources
As one beginner jewelry maker
to another, I'd like to share some of my favorite jewelry making
tutorials, suppliers and information. In my opinion, beaded bracelets,
necklaces, and earrings are good beginner jewelry projects, so that is
what I'll be listing on this page.
The Basics
Every good jewelry maker must
learn and conquer the basics of jewelry making. Here are the most useful
basic jewelry making information I have found:
Bead Charts and Measurements
Stringing Materials
How
to Use a Crimp Tool - Probably one of the harder things to learn and
perfect when creating beaded jewelry. This is by far the best tutorial I
have found on crimping.
