As I am making this pattern friendship bracelet,
http://www.how-to-make-jewelry.com/friendship-bracelet-instructions.html
the right end of the bracelet starts "curling" in. aka, the bracelet starts folding in half by itself due to that end. what am i doing wrong here? when i put something on those two rightmost strings, to hold them down (so they won’t curl) the bracelet looks perfect. but as soon as i take the weight off of them, it curls. am i knotting too tight??
Yes, my friendship bracelets do that, too! It’s either from knotting too tight (but tighter = more secure!) or the WIDTH, the wider, the less chance of curling! It’s okay though, just wear it on and it’ll be fine though!

I wanted to learn how to make my own jewelry and hopefully maybe sell them one day but because I am totally new to this, I was wondering what supplies are needed in order to make jewelry such as bracelets, earrings, or necklaces. Also, does anyone know any places or sites where I can get easy and good instructions on how to make jewelry? Do I also get supplies from places like Michaels? Thanks, hope to hear from people soon.

Great answers up to now, Thank you!
What you’re looking for in general is "wire work." That covers everything from simple connectors to fancier spirals and other shapes, as well as wire-wrapping, etc.
Check out some of these sites:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wire+work+tutorials
http://www.google.com/search?q="wire+work"+jewelry
http://www.google.com/images?q="wire+work"
http://www.google.com/images?q="wire+work"+jewelry
Any you may also want to check out the Wire page at my site for lessons, ideas, etc., gathered in one place:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/wire.htm
…check out especially the categories called "General Info," "Basic Wire Shapes," and "Other Wire Ideas"
As for "forums," check out these places for jewelry and/or wire forums they may have, as well as the first one at the Art Jewelry magazine website:
http://cs.artjewelrymag.com/artcs/forums/26.aspx
yahoogroups
googlegroups
delphiforums
For suppliers, check out this page at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/jewelry.htm
…click on Suppliers, near the bottom of the list
(and also my Wire page linked to above)

Any instructions on how to make rings, necklaces, and bracelets out of colored telephone wire.
We use telephone wire and some other plastic coated wires to make various connectors, etc, with polymer clay –like this, for example:
http://www.geocities.com/thousand_canes/full/new07.jpg
…but it sounds like you want to make whole pieces of jewelry just with the wire?
Keep in mind that not all plastic coated wires will be as stiff or the same diameter as certain kinds of older "25-pair" solid-color, telephone wire, so may not hold shape, etc., as well, but can still be used in certain ways for jewelry.
If you want to check out some things about using telephone wire (especially with polymer clay but not only with it) and also some plastic-wire links, check out this page at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/wire.htm
…click on the category called PLASTIC COATED WIRE )
Otherwise, try some of these sites:
