What are the must haves in your beading tools and supplies kit?

 

With any job, the right tools are essential to success. Without them, you’ll waste precious time scrambling to collect the tools you need, or resorting to time-consuming, quality-reducing workarounds. Though the tools you will need will depend, to some extent, on the type of jewelry you are making, there are several tools that will play an essential role in your beading tools and supplies kit.

Essential Jewelry Making Tools

These general beading tools play a pivotal role in every jewelry supply kit, from beginner to advanced:

– Pliers

You will need a few different types of pliers when you begin your beading journey. These include:

– Needle Nose/Chain Nose Pliers

These handy pliers are great for reaching into small spaces, as well as working with jump rings, crimping beads, and bending and managing many types of findings. Some have teeth, and some do not. Those with teeth grip better but may leave unwanted marks on your jewelry if you squeeze them too hard. Toothless models prevent this – but may send items sailing through the air given their limited gripping capacity.

– Flat Nose Pliers

Flat nose pliers are ideal for pulling, providing better grip. The square edge profile also allows you to create sharp corners more easily. These are also available with/without teeth.

– Bent Nose Pliers

These needle nose pliers feature a strongly bent front end that allows you to reach into a variety of places straight pliers cannot.

– Round Nose Pliers

The smooth, rounded jaws of these pliers are great for making wire loops like jump rings or winding wire wrapping, providing a smooth curve, and preventing crimping.

– Cutting Tools

A good pair of wire cutters and a good pair of scissors are essential, whether you are cutting wire, chain, string, or ribbons.

– Findings

We offer a variety of sterling silver beads and findings and gold filled beads and findings, including clasps, clips, ear wires, headpins, and more – because one can never have too many findings when planning a new jewelry making project.

– Adhesive

Good adhesive ensures your knots will stay put, safeguarding your beautiful design.

– Tool or Tackle Box

Keep your tools organized, nearby, and at-the-ready with a tool, tackle, or cosmetics box.

Other Specialized Tools You Might Like to Include

These extra tools and accessories may also be helpful:

– Specialty Pliers.

– Crimping Pliers

These are shaped perfectly for crimping beads and tubes, so you don’t accidentally cut through threads and wires.

– Tweezers

A pair of household tweezers can help you pick up beads, thread needles, tie knots, and pull threads.

Make Quarantine Fun! Jewelry Making Using Shamballa Beads

This simple macramé bracelet is sure to become a staple in your design lineup. With a square knot design, it can be modified to suit nearly any cord or bead style, but we love to use Shamballa beads for their sparkly flair. The hardest part is learning the trick for the sliding clasp.

Jewelry Making Supplies Needed:

•    About 12 feet of hemp, linen, cotton, or other bead cord.

•    Any kinds of beads you prefer, provided they are large enough for two strands of cord to fit through.

•    Scissors

•    Needle

•    Clipboard or board and binder clip

•    Flat or chain-nose pliers

How to Make a Shamballa Macramé Bracelet

1.    Cut two 2-foot pieces of cord and one 6-foot piece of cord. Clip the two anchor cords to your clipboard or board and binder clip work surface, leaving 8-inch tails. Center the long cord, perpendicularly, under the two anchors.

2.    Grab the long cord on the right side, looping it over the anchor cords, placing the right end over the left end.

3.    Next, bring the left end under the anchor cords and up through the loop on the right.

4.    Pull to tighten, creating one-half of a square knot. The second half is done the same, but beginning from the left: Left end over the anchors, under the right end. Right end under the anchors, through the left loop. Pull tight. You should now have a complete square knot.

5.    Repeat this process until you have the number of knots you prefer between beads. Pro tip: Odd numbers of knots look best.

6.    Continue tying the knots, placing beads in between, until your bracelet is the desired length.

7.    To finish the design, sew the tails up through the last section of knots, using pliers to assist you in pulling the need through.

8.    Snip off the ends cleanly.

9.    To make the sliding clasp, form your bracelet into a circle, overlapping the anchor cords. Temporarily tie the anchor cords together with a bit of cord.

10.    Clip the top to your clipboard or board and binder clip work surface. Cut a 12-inch piece of cord, centering it beneath your four anchor cords. Tie square knots as you did to create the original bracelet. Continue for ½-inch. Then, sew the ends back in. This section of knots will be able to slide back and forth on the anchor cords.

11.    Take the tail knots, making slip knots 1-2-inches away from the clasp on each pair of anchor ends. You can add beads here, too. These will act as stoppers, preventing the ends don’t slide out of the clasp. Leave enough length so you can loosen the bracelet enough to fit it over your hand.

12.    Repeat the process many times, making personalized Shamballa macramé bracelets for your family and friends!

What are the Various Methods to Apply Swarovski Pearls & Crystals?

•    Sewing & Embroidering

Swarovski pearls and crystals can be applied by household or industrial sewing or embroidery machines, as well as by hand using synthetic multifilament threads with a Nm 50-80 thread count using a straight-stitch for multi-row or zigzag stitch for single-row products.

Swarovski stones may also be soldered, plated, or set into place with the right jewelry making supplies, allowing you to create state-of-the-art accessories.

This adhesive allows for the application of Swarovski products to metal, wood, porcelain, glass, crystal, metal, rubber, cork, and some gluable plastic materials. It even allows for the application of stones and pearls to 3D surfaces, given proper surface tension. Ceralun resists perspiration, humidity, and temperature changes without showing signs of aging.

•    Other Applications

8 Must Know facts About Sterling Silver Beads

From fashion jewelry to faucets, there have been many significant changes in the popularity and prevalence of precious metals over the years. Few have withstood the test of time. Sterling silver is the exception, and it’s easy to see why. This affordable, durable, beautiful metal outshines competing options. What makes this the substrate of choice in the fashion and jewelry industries?

8 Must-Know Facts About Sterling Silver Beads

1.    Sterling silver beads are formed from a mixture of metals.

Sterling silver is an alloy, or mixture of metals. To bear the “sterling silver” namesake, sterling silver beads and findings include a blend of 92.5% silver, as well as several other metals (or combinations of metals). The most common combination is silver and copper, though composition may vary.

2.    Sterling silver is stronger than 100% pure silver.

Because silver is a soft metal, it’s prone to dents, scratches, and warping. For jewelry that sees frequent use, that won’t do. Adding copper and other metals to silver makes it harder and more durable, while still maintaining its beauty and value.

3.    Sterling silver bears markings of origin and authenticity.

Assayer’s marks denote the origins of each piece of sterling silver, bearing animals and other symbols that signify the country in which each item was made. In addition to this, sterling silver pieces will also boast a number showcasing purity, usually “925,” which stands for 92.5% silver.

4.    The value of sterling silver fluctuates.

Though it’s not a pure precious metal, the value of sterling silver changes based on the market price of silver due to the alloy’s high silver content.

5.    Sterling silver can tarnish.

While adding copper and other metals to form sterling silver imbues strength, it also makes it more prone to tarnishing with oxygen exposure. Fortunately, you can keep sterling silver jewelry looking its best with regular cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth and nonabrasive polish.

6.    Some chemicals can damage the sterling silver.

Always take off your jewelry when swimming in a chlorinated pool or cleaning with bleach, as these chemicals corrode silver. Long-term exposure to sunlight, salt water, perfume, and hairspray also accelerate corrosion. Be mindful of activities before donning your sterling silver creations.

7.    Proper storage can prevent tarnishing.

Storing sterling silver jewelry in sealable polyurethane bags, or with desiccants, can prevent tarnishing from humidity and oxygen exposure.

8.    Sterling silver can irritate the skin.

Fortunately, flashing with a thin layer of pure silver, plating, and other coatings can damper irritation.

Ready to Design with Sterling Silver?

With proper care, sterling silver can last a lifetime – or longer. Create jewelry designs that will stand the test of time with our wide variety of sterling silver offerings, including:

•    Sterling silver beads & findings

How to Organize Your Beading Tool Supplies?

It might be convenient and tempting to toss all your beading tools and supplies into a giant heap in a large box after your project, but you’re not doing yourself any favors. Storing your beading supplies this way guarantees you’ll be wasting time digging for each and every item you need for your next project, or money repurchasing items you cannot find. How can you quickly and easily organize supplies for later use?

First, Organize Supplies Into Piles by Type

Group similar items together, such as:

•    Tools

•    Wires

•    Beads

•    Findings

After you have organized them into piles, seek-out appropriately sized containers for each group of objects. You can find storage options nearly anywhere, from upcycled fishing tackle boxes and food storage containers, to clear bins, jars, and multi-drawered storage boxes at your area retail, consignment, or discount store.

Ensure Items are Visible & Essential Items Conveniently Located

Use clear storage containers, or clearly label items so you can find them in a snap. Keep the items you reach for the most easily accessible and close to your work area. If you can, show them off, making a beautiful and functional space. Label absolutely everything with a label maker, permanent marker, or tape and a pen, from the items you use daily, to those you rarely use.

Get Nit Picky

Organize beads and findings into sub-types so you can find what you need in a flash. Common options for organizing beads include by:

•    Color:

Organize by color, shape, or size in a single, multi-compartment container so you can envision multiple possibilities at a glance.

Pro Tip: If you’re organizing by size, try sifting a large batch of beads through a colander can quickly help you differentiate large and small items.

•    Composition:

Storing Swarovski crystal beads separately from gold-filled beads, for example.

Don’t Let Ribbon & Chain Get Away from You

Hang spools nearby on a ribbon organizer or wooden dowel suspended between cup hooks. For smaller items, secure them in small, resealable zipper bags, likewise hanging them on the dowel.

Avoid Leaving Leave Supplies Lying Around

As soon as you’re done with something, put it away. It only takes a few seconds. This practice will help you avoid a cluttered workspace – and an overwhelmed mind. Jewelry makers are visual, and clutter disrupts the creative process.

Create a Scrapbook

Organize your design ideas and inspiration for future projects as well, sorting them into a 3-ring binder for easy reference.
