    I really enjoy beading, and I wanted to know if anyone else had any great beading tips or jewelry making ideas that they wanted to share?

    Ive made lots of jewlrey before.

    the way i used to do it was, u get some wire. holdy clippy thingys, and wire cuttters. hold the wire, make a loop on the end, twist the spare wire (less then a cm) around the longer part, put the beads on, and do the same to the other side. (twist the spare stuff around the bigger piece) the big piece should be about....2 1/2 inches long.

    make sure the thing will fit around ur wrist (braclet) and then make the last piece to it, slip a clasp where u loop and there ya go!

    Haha yeah that's a very creative way to make a wonderful piece! :)

    But I've tried like different stiches lately, like for example peyote, it's a really cute and easy stich

    And I've also tried to work with loomwork

    Idk, it just seems like lately i've been really into it, and I'm taking more classes for it now ;)

    it's a fun and easy thing for goody bags treats or fun accessories!

    If anyone knows any place where I can find great jewerly designs, or if there are classes being offered at a really good deal just let me know

    And the same goes for me too :)

    Keep this forum moving I wanna hear what you guys have in experience with this topic!

    I made a bracelet the other day.

    But it broke. I ran out of wire, so I used string, then I tried to put it on my dog. rofl. But anyway. :D

    Tip: do not put jewelry on your dog. xD

    My aunt makes jewlery, she is taking a jewelry coarse in university. I like drawing designs of jewelry, but I don't make any, cuz I don't have the materials. But when something like a braclet brakes I could put it back together easily.

    Yeah you all sound very creative,

    but i have to admit, i am new to making jewerly
