    Creating your own bead jewelry is just a creative activity that enables one to produce special pieces for yourself, family and friends. Here is how it is possible to get going.

    If you ever thought about "couldn't I do that myself?" as you looked through rows of bead bracelets, necklaces or earrings at a fashionable boutique, the clear answer is "yes". Beading is just a creative and interesting hobby that maybe not only will have you create unique, handmade components of jewelry, but will also become a great way to obtain gift ideas for family and friends.

    The first step is always to locate a great local bead store. While there are wonderful mail order catalogs and sites that'll offer you all of the products, nothing substitutes for the assistance and support of experienced sales personnel. Ideally, this shop would also provide a amount of beginners' courses that would help you understand basic techniques (when there is no bead shop in your community, some introductory books like the Complete Idiot's Guide to Beading will have to do).

    Start with a straightforward task, such as for instance a band or simple ring, and do not exaggerate with costly beads and findings (clasps, hooks, etc.). You might be planning to use Swarovski crystal, silver and semi-precious beads at this time, but you can work around that later. Some stores may even offer packaged starter kits offering a table (which can help you with project design and proportions), a how-to-book, drops, wire, findings and some simple tools.

    You need to then set up your "beading space" ideally an uncluttered, well-lit area. You might have to buy a great lamp, probably one coupled with a magnifying lens. Remember, you'll be stringing some rather little items! Ensure you have loads of containers to keep various sorts and colors of beads split up nothing can spoil your joy of beading like having to search for a single bead in a disorderly pile. Beading stores can offer you different storage devices (including beading bags for that beader-on-the-go), but you may also experiment with cheap plastic containers meant to keep little electronics or fishing tackle.

    Well, there you're ready for the first bead jewelry project! Don't forget to protect your beading area from toddlers and cats. Happy beading, and have fun waring your hand-crafted jewelry!. Swarovski Crystal Beads contains further about the inner workings of this concept.
