Beadwork is a simple thing to master. To begin you need string as well as beads.

Done.

At it's most simple, that is actually all you require. Clasps on jewelry are generally good, but not necessary. You may bead a loop at one end, and a ball at the other. So the one loops above the other joining the 2 ends of your necklace.

Knowing the way to tie an excellent knot is essential. Last thing you would like is to end, hold up the piece, and it fall apart on you. Even worse, would be to have it fall apart while a buyer is looking at it. Due to those worries I use glue. A bit adhesive put on my knots for a little peace of mind. Some tell that is actually cheating, but I don't care. They make adhesive for beading, and what is actually more essential is that they make it where it has a nearly string type tip, letting you get glue exactly where you need it instead of all over everything else. If they sell such a product, then many individuals are doing it. I don't refer to it as cheating, I name it as quality. And if knots aren't your specialty, they make devises so you can get a good tight knot up close and personal. Difficult to mess that up.

A good set of small pliers is useful as well while doing beadwork. You can actually work without, man has for ages, however they make them, and they do help. Sometimes you're working with really tiny line, and pliers can help you get hold of it to make things tight as well as neat.

Another useful thing is a jewelry dish. Again, not essential, but it lets you lay your beads out as you need them designed. You could play with your design here without stringing as well as restringing trying to find the perfect balance. Also, the trays have measurements on them, so you'll know how long the piece you are making is. This little, few dollars tray, can significantly reduce your time down.

As a pastime, or business goes, doing beadwork has a fairly small overhead, and can be the most rewarding jobs you have ever had.
