Learning how to make beaded handmade jewelry is really easy, even for those with absolutely no previous experience in jewelry making. It’s easy to create your own designs once you choose an easy pattern to follow.

You can even turn this hobby into a lucrative business – a great added bonus for you because you get paid to do what you really love.  Some people get into jewelry business by accident; they started making jewelry pieces as hobby but this became a huge business when other people took interest in their work.  Who says you can’t have fun while working?

If you want to learn how to make beaded handmade jewelry, remember the following:

• If you’re worried about the cost, you’re wrong. You can get started with only a handful of supplies. But, before you get to the creating stage, you need to take time to understand the terminologies used in jewelry making.
• Familiarize yourself with the tools of the trade. Know the difference in the types of pliers used to create the jewelry. It’s also important to know the different types of jewelry wire. Not all wire have the same thickness or the same material; wire thickness affects the quality of the jewelry, same with the material used.

• Search catalogs and visit stores – especially those in the malls to see which style is selling fast.  This will probably give you several ideas. Even if you decide that you decide not venture into selling, you’ll still be up-to-date with the latest trends in beaded handmade jewelry.
