Here is a photo of the tools I bought and will be working with. In addition to the suggested tools I got a seed bead scooper, a bead reamer and this very thin and pointed tweezer like tool I don't know the name of. Most of these tools came in a nice little set I got at Michaels on sale. I plan on trying them out this weekend. :)
Please check out my Pinterest Board on Jewelry Making to see some of the sources I looked into to learn more about what tools to use and how.
Also here is a short video I found quickly going over some of the more common tools and their uses.

I have some jewelry I need to fix. Maybe you can teach me how! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Amanda. My mom's friend has been doing this for years. If you want to sell your work and get a space at a festival, let me know and I'll see if I can put you in contact with her.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good resource, Paul!
