Beads , Hooks ,Stones,Wire Wraping ....Finding what you need to make Jewelry

Making your own jewelry can be fun and less expensive than buying it from the stores. Plus, it's exactly the right look for you.

After all you made it. This hobby can be as cheap or expensive as you care to make it. Today the public can buy almost anything the business dealer can. You have thousands of choices to pick from. I like to find beads and clasp on purses. As well as not throwing away those broken necklaces you have .Take a look and  you might be surprise to see the beads ,chains rings and all are reusasble.Just take it apart and  there you are. Great way to go green and make something for you or gift for someone else. I strongly believe that a recycled gift is great. It makes me feel like that person not only gave me something they took the time to make but that they thought about me as they were making it .What better feeling is there than that?!! This is also something you can do with your kids; Granny would just love something her grandchild took time to make them.

So here we go .Finding beads online is no problem,but you have to think before you buy .Some are not what you want or they are smaller than you realized, Seed beads are usually cheap and you get a good amount .Yet they are SEED beads .Those little things are small and easy to lose. So be informed and do a little research before you spend money on something you will end up scattering all over and losing them.

Here are some sites I look at when thinking about buying supplies.

 http://www.amazon.com/ 

You can do a search for beads or jewelry making and get lots of wonderful things to look at .

They offer kits as well. They have charms, chain, thread beads tools hooks, stands and just about anything you can think of.

http://www.firemountaingems.com/

This site has   huge selection of beads cords, settings, stones, ring.... I could go on and on.

They have a $ 1 sale and under on over a hundred beads. This site is one of my favorite because it is a joy to look at and they give free instructions on making jewelry as well. For those that like to scrapbook they have Elements for you to look at . This site is massive. Tools, videos, cords, 14 k gold ring for you to create you r own. It just goes on and on. This is a must look at for the crafter. Better yet, they will send you a free catalog in the mail and you can grab a cup of coffee and droll... I mean browse all the products curled up in your chair.
