A common hobby for most people now, especially women, is jewellery making. It is easy, and is a vent for one’s creativity and also inexpensive. There are many books available in the market to teach one about easy to make jewellery and it is also possible to learn it off the internet by taking an online course in it.
Jewellery making can be started with minimal supplies. The Jewellery Making Supplies that one needs are wires, made of copper, brass, silver etc. These wires are called gauges and the commonly used gauges are 16, 18, 20, 22. For connecting components one can use the 22 gauge wire.
Once the wire has been decided, the beads need to be decided upon. One can use glass beads, copper beads, etc. Depending on the purpose of the jewellery, the beads should be selected for. For example, if a hairpin is being made, then it would be better to use glass beads or pony beads. If one wants to make jewelleries that will be a little in the higher price range, then one can use pearls, crystals etc.
Glass beads come in different types like gold foil beads, silver foil Beads Findings etc. If one wants to make oriental ethnic designs, then one can resort to using copper beads. They come in different sizes and shapes and also varied designs. One can use these simple beads and wire to make the most exquisite pieces. It is all about expressing one’s creativity. It’s inexpensive and a great way to pass time.
