Uncover the secrets of Jewelry crafting

Jewelry creation is a great hobby and can even be a great way to make money working from the comfort of your own home. Jewelry design is also a great way to express your personality and accent your clothing collection. If you are fascinated in learning to design and create jewelry the best place to start with is working with Beads.

Because beads are not high priced and require no specialized or expensive equipment to get started, bead making offers a great way to introduce you to the world of jewelry making. All you need to get started creating one of a kind custom jewelry pieces are a few basic tools and of course a good choice of beads.

Deciding the right beads is simply a matter of individual liking. Some jewelry designers choose working with glass beads while others maintain working with other mediums such as wooden beads, hematite, copper and other materials. For the bead making novice some of the most common and not high priced options are acrylic beads. Acrylic Beads are similar to glass beads in appearance but are lighter and easier to work with making them the perfect choice for beginners. Acrylic beads also cost significantly less than other bead choices which is perfect for the budget conscious designer. No matter what category of beads you choose, purchasing your beads is a good way to save money and expand your collection.

Once you have selected the appropriate beads for your activity the next step is to purchase the necessary materials and tools to string your necklace or bracelet. While there are plenty tools that can benefit a jewelry creator, there are a few elements that you will need to get started. Chances are you can probably obtain them in your husband's toolbox or you can purchase them for relatively little money at any hardware store or bead supply retailer.

In order to string beads into a complete piece you will need a couple of different types of pliers. Round nose pliers are probably the most commonly used item in a jewelry designer's tool kit. Round nose pliers are used primarily for turning wire and creating loops. Used for almost every other task chain pliers are another important tool in your arsenal. Chain pliers are used for everything from holding beads and components in place to opening and closing links. Finally, wire cutters are helpful for cutting and trimming stringing material and wire. In addition to these three tools, crimping pliers, tweezers, and a beading needle will all go a long way to simplify your work when stringing beads.

Once you have the complete equipment, all that is left to do is purchase your stringing supplies. The most common stringing materials are bead stringing wire, monofilament, and nylon thread. Depending on the nature of your project each has their own unique benefits to offer. Once you have selected the perfect string for your project, you'll simply need to choose findings to complete your project. Findings are those jewelry making supplies such as clasps, crimps, and jump rings. The easiest way to complete your project is by using a clasp and jump ring. As a result this method is the one most commonly suggested for beginners. Simply crimp and attach the clasp to one end and jump ring to the other and you have a finished piece of jewelry you can wear with pride.

Making your own beaded jewelry is a great and fun way to spruce up your jewelry cabinet and express your own sense of fashion and style. Whether you enjoy working with glass or acrylic beads, wood or pearls; assembly your own pieces isn't just for experts and professional designers. Rather it is a hobby anyone can enjoy from the comfort of their own living room.

Beads and Findings

How thick do i want wire to craft a pendent out of that won't misshapen with regular wear.?

Here is the shape i wish to make the pendent

The stiffness of wire depends a lot on the type of wire as well as its thickness. Since you don't mention the exact type of wire you have, just fold it around a little bit and see if it gets easily misshapen if it's pressed on or knocked around. Since this particular design is kind of loosely *woven* though, that will add stiffness to any wire design.

But in this case you'll also need a wire that can be curved and manipulated reasonably easily (not too stiff) so that it can be tightly turned and woven back through the design repeatedly.

As for what you need, I'd say at least a drawn guide for the final size and shape so you can keep laying what you've done against it and make corrections. It's not as easy to do symmetrical shapes, and also those that are an even all-over shape (like a triangle or square), as it is to do freeform shapes, but you may not require that level of precision for your pendant.
Instead of a template and free-bending by hand, it might be much better to first make yourself a "jig" of the shape you want using finish-nails in a board, or buy a jig grid with pegs, then bend the wire on the jig... here are some simple jigs for making wire shapes:

You also won't easily be able to make 3 of the projecting "corners" pointed compared to the more rounded ones but you can make them at least a little different. And you'll probably want "round nose" pliers as well as regular flat needle-nose ones if you don't use a jig.
