Jewelry Making

hi, i was just wondering if anyone knows where i could buy a jewellery making kit from in the uk? I would love 2 start making my own jewellery but i can only find kits for children. any ideas would be much appreciated!

thanks in advance!! :o)

P.S i also prefer buying form shops rather than use online shopping, i HATE ebay! lol
I’m from Newcastle!

Do you have a Hobbycraft store near you. They are large out of town stores and stock just about any hobby and craft accessories that you can think of. Have a look in your Yellow Pages.

I want to get into making my own jewelry, where can i get some tutorials on it and like a starter kit? i want to see if i can be semi good at it, so i don’t want to spend too much money but i don’t mind spending $50 or so.

Michael’s craft stores have lots of starter kits, instruction books and beads that are perfect for beginners. The easiest project is bracelets on stretch cord and they have plenty of kits for that. (here’s a little tip: when working with stretch cord stretch it out and back several times before stringing.) If you want to shop on-line and you live in the US then Fire Mountain Gems is a great place to shop. They have everything you need and they are a great starting point. Finally, Bead and Button Magazine has a large website with tips and tricks for wire work, chain work, and other jewelry techniques. Finally, About.com has a large beadwork site and a jewelry making site. bead and jewelry making can be absolutely addicting. Here are some good sites with tips, tricks, tools and tutes!

I find it hard to find gifts for my mother on xmas.. I had an idea to get her a jewellery making kit… I think it would be something she would enjoy for many reasons.

I see alot of jewellery making kits on ebay which im not sure about. I know she would enjoy making jewellery for her "ladys nights" out so I dont want to buy tacky kit with tacky beads.

I was thinking maybe it would be better value to just making the kit up myself rather than buying ready made kits from ebay.

I need to know what would be the essentials of the kit as in tools and the main type of beads needed. Also any nice extras that would be nice to throw in.

Thanks

You will first need a container to organize everything. I suggest a multi compartment tackle box from the sporting goods department at your local Wal Mart. You can also pick up a set of jewelry tools there that would be appropriate for a beginner and inexpensive.

I have a copy of an ebook for beginning beaders that I can email to you. You can print the book out and take it to a Mailboxes Etc. store and they can bind it for you so it’s like a real book.

Other essentials will include but are not limited to the following:

Swarovski crystal beads
Sterling Silver or Goldfilled spacers
Seed beads make great spacers too
Accuflex 49 strand wire for stringing the beads
Stretch Magic or the equivalent for stretchy bracelets
crimp beads
toggle clasps or lobster claw clasps
jump rings or split rings
ear wires
head pins and eye pins
Swarovski Crystal Pendants
Bails for the pendants
basic round czech glass beads - inexpensive and good for practicing with

There are so many beads and findings on the market, your Mom will love this gift! Beading is very addictive! If you need any more suggestions or help of any kind you can contact me through the ask seller a question link on any of my auctions. http://www.allthatglitterscrystalbeads.com

Good Luck!

My younger sister had a do it yourself jewelry making kit. It came in a small rectangular plastic container. It wasn’t RoseArt or any brand like that. It was something from like a craft store or something.
But inside came about 12 different colors of beads in small circular containers. It also came with white stretchy string. The instructions said to use clear coat nail polish to paint the tip of the string so that the beads would go on easier. I thought this was a unique instruction. The design of the container had girls making jewelry, it had a metallic light blue or silver color and the instructions were printed on the inside of the cardboard inside the container. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway, my little sister lost her kit and I’m trying to find out what kind it is so that I can find it at a craft store.
If you know what brand it is or where I can definitely, not possibly, pick it up then please let me know.

Thank you so much!

check out and sign up for hobby lobby and Micheals store ads and often they have coupons f or one item for 25 to 40 or 50% off. Also look in the clearance aisle at Joann fabrics, or Hobby lobby for some great deals. Even Wal-mart has some of the kits.

No, I have no idea what specific kit is is, but these type of kits ARE definitely found at all the stores listed.

willing to spend up to $100 needs to have everything i would need to make jewelry as i have no supplies.

Most craft stores sell kits that sometimes include everything you need to make a few projects. My advice is, if you’re planning on beading to make money, pass on the kits. Pick up a couple of beading magazines (not pricey books), and buy a set of tools plus a crimping tool. Next step is to talk to a sales person at the craft store (I can recommend both Michaels and AC Moore). Decide what it is you want to make and get help from the associate with your purchases. If the store offers beading classes, TAKE AT LEAST ONE! Once you are familiar with the basic techniques, spend your money on quality beads. Note on wire….when making a necklace or bracelet, the supplies may list beading wire. This usually refers to "tiger tail" and not a stiffer wire. Tiger tail requires crimp beads, and using crimp beads takes practice.

To Jackie B. You’re joking, right? Wal-Mart will do in a pinch. It would not be my first (or 2nd or 3rd) recommendation for beading supplies.

k, I have a science project that i was assigned to do. we have to build a cube/square that is less than 20 cm. any ideas i could make.
if you don't understand what i mean, here are examples my friends are doing..
-cubix cube
-dice
- square make-up kit
- jewelry box
if you could give me the best idea, i will give you 5 stars!
thank you!!!

you can make collage cubies. here's the link -
www.creativity-portal.com/howto/a/collage/cubies.html

www.cubeecraft.com - this site has dolls/models made out of cubes http://www.cubeecraft.com/template.html - has the standard template
www.cubeecraft.com/blog - has ideas for various dolls.

make a cubix mug - use it to store pens, brushes, etc. Add a handle.

make cube beads & string into jewelery. spell out your name [or any message] by painting/adding letters to each cube. or just decorate with any pictures/drawings. adorn with glitter, sequins, etc.

make a TV model using shadow-play. make the cube for TV box but for the screen use tracing paper. inside the hollow of the cube place a candle or a light bulb [this is safer but you will need batteries or a plug-point]. take a rectangle of black paper & cut out stencils in it such that it tells a story or shows different visuals. roll it into a hollow cylinder & glue the edges together. use a string to hang. place this around the light source. when the bulb is lit, twirl the stringed cylinder around - it will throw shadows of the stencil on the screen & the "audience" can see moving images.

make a wish jar using cubes instead of cards.

make a beam balance [with 2 cubes] or weighing kitchen scale.

a container for file-o-fax or for visiting cards, etc.

an explosion box — here's the site -
http://www.papercraftcentral.com/explosi… — Explosion box
http://www.papercraftcentral.com/paper-ball.html — for paper ball that is actually a cube & can be used to adorn Xmas tress, etc. or write a message/quotation,…

how about a cubie evening purse? use construction paper for this & add strings for handles.

hope these inspire
all the best - have fun :-))
