Making jewellery from unusual beads
• Kerri
Not everybody is really creative and if you are struggling to find inspiration for Christmas items or something as a treat for you, why not browse through some of the many craft books that are available for jewellery making. It can be difficult finding something that you think you can make quite easily and if you need some step by step guides or some ideas for Christmas presents, then a book about beads, jewellery and other crafts would be really useful.
As well as having a good book on standby, you also need to make sure that you have all of the right tools too. If you are beginner, you might be best starting off with a starter kit. Within the starter kit is everything that you need including beads, jewels and jewellery string. Once you have got to grips with making small items, then you can start looking at expanding your craft box with other bits and bobs like round nose pliers and a pair of heavy duty cutters. All of these tools will be really useful as you develop your skills and your hobby of making jewellery with beads. You will be so amazed with the wide range of beads that are on offer from glass beads to beautiful wooden beads to beads that are really unusual.
