Jewelry Making

I want to make jewelry as a hobby, any ideas on how to get started? I have drawn my own original designs but I have no idea how to make them. I need a website or book with instructions on how to make jewelry. Any ideas?

Hello,

I make hemp jewelry, but am looking to expand what I create. I saw pictures of hemp purses on the web, but cannot find instructions anywhere. I am lost, and need to know:

How to start
How to attatch the lining

Any bit of information would be helpful!

Thank you!

This is all I could find.

so i have been trying to make this certain bracelet over and over again but it will not stop twisting. it is SO frustrating. it is known as the candy stripe friendship bracelet i guess and it’s one of the simplest techniques of friend ship bracelets. it doesn’t start twisting until i tie the string on the furthest to the right strand. it starts curving to the left. and my whole bracelet is in a spiral when i’m done. other people have them on and theirs lay perfectly flat on their wrist. i don’t understand what i’m doing wrong. i am not tieing it to tightly and i am following all of the steps perfectly. PLEASE help me seriously like i will love you forever if your answer is right.
here is a picture of the bracelet and the steps..

this isn’t complicated at all btw!
i am not tieing it too tight…i have already said this

maybe your using the wrong type of string and also on that side hold it down while your doing it. that could help

Im sure this question has been asked before, but i have more questions.
What materials do i buy when making those cupcake necklaces?
How much does it cost to buy in bulk?
and where can i buy it from? wal-mart, hobby lobby, michaels, meijer…etc?

If you can answer any of these questions…can you give me a link or instructions on what i do after i have finished… like heating up in oven or whatever youre supposed to do?

Ooh, actually… Walmart has this new section in the store where you can buy kits of combinations of bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, for like around $10. I just got a couple of kits recently and tried them out. They take patience and a bit of time… but they look great when they’re done.

It comes with instructions, all the beads and supplies that you need to make everything it includes. They’re actually pretty cool to make, and some of them look like you bought them, and don’t look overly cheap. You don’t have to use any ovens, or anything.

That particular section in the store also has individual packs of beads, wire, pliers and other supplies that you can purchase to make up your own patterns and create whatever you like. The aisle has like ideas in pamphlets, and pictures of examples in that very aisle, and stuff you can take if you’re not overly creative in that department.

I hope you can find the section in the store… they’re really fun to make!

Hope that helps!

why can some people make candy stripe bracelets and they are perfectly flat, but other ppl make theirs and they are all curly and twisty?!!?!?!?!?!? i’ve never been so frustrated in my life. i don’t want someone to tell me to iron it or put it inbetween books because i just want to simply understand HOW to make these dumb bracelets correctly. i don’t want them to TWIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is a picture…

The reason that particular pattern twists is that all of the tension of the strings is pulling in a singular direction, other patterns such as the chevron do not twist as the tension is equally pulling in both directions. When i still made those things that pattern always twisted until I took out the iron and pressed it

Hi,
I recently started a small home jewelry business, and I need to purchase some specialty paper for the following purposes:

1. Making earring cards to hang earrings from.
2. Making small "inserts" to go w/ jewelry (about 1.5×1 inch) describing the gems used in the pieces.

Ideally I would like the paper to be printable at least on an inkjet printer. I have looked around online extensively, but have not really been able to find what I am looking for at a reasonable price. I don’t just want plain card stock, I would rather have something a little fancier with texture, etc. Also, I am looking for solid colors (blues mainly).

Anybody know a good website to look for this type of product and/or a site that has instructions for making your own jewelry tags and other ‘marketing’ materials? Thank you in advance for your time!

You can try Red Stamp Cards, they are giving away 75% discount.
