Making beaded jewelry is one of those hobbies that doesnt cost the earth (well it can if you let it) you can start small and build up your supplies and tools and it gives you great satisfaction and a sense of achievement. When other people compliment you on your jewlery and ask where you bought it … there’s no greater satisfaction than saying ”I made it myself”. Often than not this is the way most people start off there own beaded jewelry business.  Others start asking if you can make them a piece, or say its their friends birthday and they want something special… be careful here because if you dont want a full time job making beaded jewelry its best to say you only make items for your own personal use. However, if you do want to make a little extra cash or start up your own business this is a great way to start. Be your own model, get friends and family to wear some items too ! 

If you are relativley new to making beaded jewelry here’s a simple necklace you could probably do in 20 mins and costs very little. Enjoy !
