Starting A Handmade Jewelry Making Business

Starting a Jewelry Making Business

Day One:

Starting a Handmade Jewelry Business Requires some Apparatus. After all, you can’t Create Jewelry from Thin Air! 

My First Step: Buying Tools!

And not just any Tools, Tons of Tools, and Beads, Wire and Findings (Findings are Clasps, Rings, Hooks).

So let’s take a Closer look at the Fun Stuff I Bought:

Tools:

Jewelry Hobby Tool Kit. Which includes:

9 Piece Tool Kit. Which includes:

Jewelry Making Beads and Tools!

Beads:

Wire:

Findings:

Now there are other things that I Purchased as well that will Greatly Help me out. Things that will Teach me and Train me. I Hope! ;) 

Books:

Magazines:

Not to mention Odds and Ends like: 

Kits:

Containers:

Most of these Materials I Ordered Online from Amazon. But I also Swung into Michaels and Hobby Lobby to pick up a few more items. As a side note, I went to check out the Beads and Findings to see what these Stores Carried, and found out I was the only Guy in the Isle. Depressing! lol. I’m Venturing into a Woman’s World! But then again, that’s what Jewelry is! :)

Looking at all the available Beads and Wire was Insane. There was so much of it. Deciding what to Buy was Tough. I was Almost Overwhelmed. 

Alright, I WAS Overwhelmed. I had No Idea what to look at, let alone Buy

I had No Idea what wire I should use for Beading. What Thickness? How do I know what Works and what Doesn’t? 

Trial and Error

This Whole Process is about Learning the Right from the Wrong. I have to Test them all, don’t I? All in all I Spent Close to $500. That’s Quite a lot Considering I don’t even know if I’ll like this. But $500 isn’t that Bad really. It’s a Small Investment for Starting a Business. What have I got to Lose? 

As you can see, I’m not one of those people that takes Small Baby Steps. I Leap Right in. I Figure if I’m Going to do this, I’m Going to do it Right. I’ll Need the Proper Tools and Books, or why even Bother? Don’t do it if you’re going to do it Half-Assed, right? 

Taking a $500 Commitment Forces me to Take Action. I can’t Afford to Lose that Money. The only way to Learn is to do it.

Hence, my Journey Begins

If you Feel there are other Essential Tools, Training Manuals or Places to Buy Beads, Wire and Findings, let me know, I’d Love to Hear from you. 

I’m a little Green!

I may be really Green at the Moment, but if I know me, it won’t Last for Long. Once I begin something, I usually don’t Give up. I’m going to keep at this, Learning and Networking with People who love doing this as well. Sooner or Later I’ll Feel Comfortable with the Jewelry Making Business. Someday, I Hope it Becomes Profitable! :) 

Until then, I’m in the Red and staring at all my Apparatus, Thinking to myself…

“WTF?”

If you’re just Starting Fresh like I am, say so. Let’s Help each other out. I need all the Help I can get. lol 

Teach me, Train me… It’s all about Having Fun and Making Wonderful Pieces of Handmade Jewelry. 

What more can you Ask for?
