Welcome to a World of Beading

Bead Jewelry Making: Learning to string beads is a great first step in jewelry-making. It's easy, and saves money on accessories. Stringing your own necklaces, earrings and bracelets gives you creative satisfaction. And there's an added benifit: the process of stringing bead after bead is engagingly meditative.

Beading has been around for centuries. In every culture- from the Stone Age and Africa, to Native American tribes and the Victorian era.

The earliest beads were made of seeds, pods, stones and wood. Holding the possibility of limitless designs, beads have come in a myriad of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials over the years, including gems, pearl, metal, plastic and glass.

The word bead comes from bede, a Middle English word meaning a "prayer."

Today beaded jewelry provide interest and fun for all ages as beads continue to charm and fascinate us with their sparkle and magic.

Beading Tips:

Buy yourself a flocked bead board with built-in-grooves. This wonderful beading tool helps you line up beads in a pattern for a necklace or bracelet that you can easly adjust without having the beads roll away onto the floor.

Invest in good beading tools. They will make your beading projects easier and they will last longer than the cheaper counterparts.

Purchase a few extra beads. Always buy more beads than you think you will need for your beading project.

Use a terry cloth towel or velvet as a beading surface. Your beads won't roll away.

Set up your beading surface in a low-lipped tray so that if you spill beads, they won't fall onto the floor.
