Beaded Earring Designs

Jewelry making tutorials is a great way to learn the art of jewelry making. The internet is a great resource for those who want to learn to make beaded jewelry.

With jewelry making tutorials, there are many great sites that give step by step instructions on how to make beaded jewelry either with written steps illustrated with pictures or as videos that show you exactly what to do.

This article has instructions on making a simple beaded bracelet.

If you want to start making beaded jewelry, you should have a selection of beads and some jewelry making wire. A pair of round-nosed pliers and a wire cutter are also basics you should have on hand.

Beads are available in so many different colors, shapes, and styles, that your bracelet is almost guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind work of art.

As for wire, it's great for beginners because you don't need a needle and with some types of wire you don't have to worry about adding a clasp. Memory wire is a thin stainless steel wire that is easy to use to make bracelets. It is available in silver or gold tone, in coils of varying length.

These tutorials help with the hands-on and step by step guide from start to finish

Here are a few simple steps

First, measure three coils of memory wire and cut this much from your spool.

Pinch one end of the wire with your round nose pliers.

Turn your pliers to make a loop in the end of the wire. This is called an "eye" loop.

Starting at the other end of the wire, string beads onto the wire until it is filled, except for about 1 cm of wire.

Using your pliers, make a loop in this 1 cm of wire like the loop you put in at the beginning. This will ensure that the beads can't slide off.

You can stop at this point, or if you want a little extra embellishment, you can add a charm onto one of the eye loops you made.

✓ As you can see, making a beautiful piece of jewelry is fun, particularly when you have a large variety of beads with which to work. Jewelry making tutorials can help you accomplish this.

✓ Memory coil is also used to make chokers and ankle bracelets. You don't necessarily have to fill the entire length of memory wire with beads. For example, with a choker, you may want beads only on the part that rests on the front of your neck.

✓ Once you make one piece of jewelry, the process is almost addicting. You may find yourself making one-of-a-kind memory wire bracelets for friends and relatives.

✓ Chunky beads will go best with casual clothing, while more "classic" beads like faux pearls will look dressier. And of course, you can always experiment to get the look you like. If it doesn't look good to you, just slide the beads back off and try different ones.
