Basic Tools You’ll Need for Jewelry Making

• Needles and thread
• Pliers
• Wire cutters
• Safety goggles or a mask (optional)
• Safety gloves (optional)
• Measuring tape, ruler and pencil/pen. You’ll also need tracing paper, sharpies and small bowls or containers to hold your beads and findings while you’re working with them.

The Right Supplies for Your Project

The right supplies will make any project easier. They can also save you money, as some items require an initial investment but can be used over and over again in multiple projects. Before you get started on your first DIY jewelry making adventure, think about what kind of jewelry you’d like to make and how much time you’re willing to devote to learning the basics. For example, if you’re looking for something quick and simple, try wire wrapping or bead stringing—you’ll need a few basic supplies for both projects:

• Wire (for wire wrapping) or beads (for bead stringing)
• Two pliers in different sizes: one with cutters on one side (to cut and shape wire) and another with clamps (to hold beads tightly together in groups)
• A mandrel or other round object that holds the wire steady while it’s being wrapped around it

Jewelry making project for beginners: DIY Beaded Bracelet

• Supplies
• beads and charms
• a bracelet clasp or necklace chain

If you are making a bracelet, then you will need to decide how long your bracelet should be. To do this, wrap some string around your wrist and then measure the length of the string with a ruler. Mark this length on the string and cut it off. Then take your two string ends and tie them together so that they are hanging from one end of your wrapped string piece (this will make it easy to work with).

Now that we have everything we need for our project, let’s get started!

• Prepare the wires and beads
• Make the choker
• Finish the choker

Safety First!

It’s important to take a few safety measures when making jewelry at home. Here are some things you can do:

• Wear safety glasses. They’ll protect your eyes from dust, particles and other debris that might fly around while you’re working.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. If there’s ever a fire in your jewelry studio, one of these will put it out quickly and safely—without causing damage to the rest of the house!
• Have first aid supplies on hand at all times (if possible). In case something happens during the process, it’s better to be prepared than not! You can find first aid kits online for very reasonable prices—just make sure they include everything needed for minor injuries like cuts or burns before heading over to Amazon Prime in search of one!
• Use gloves when handling chemicals or other substances that could cause harm if spilled on skin such as metal polish/cleaner liquid used inside microwave ovens where contact may occur through ventilation openings located above top shelf level where food items are stored just below surface area should contact occur via vapors fumes inhalation ingestion etc..

Jewelry making is a great hobby that might also allow you to make some gift items or give you a start as a small business.

Jewelry making is a great hobby that might also allow you to make some gift items or give you a start as a small business. It’s good for the environment, too! You can use recycled materials from old jewelry and other household items in your creations. And if you have access to scrap metal, there are many ways that you can use it up entirely.

There are many benefits of taking up this hobby as opposed to buying all new supplies: if your budget is tight, it will help stretch your money further; you’ll be able to keep more money in circulation by recycling old things instead of throwing them away; and helping reduce waste (and maybe even make something beautiful out of it) should appeal to everyone’s environmental sensibilities.
