Hobbycraft are usually pretty good, as are most Craft shops.

Large Garden Centres tend to stock stuff like that!

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!
