1. Beading Classes - Taking classes may seem a weird way to approach something as creative as beaded jewelry, but it will teach you the basics.
2. Jewelry Making Kits - Jewelry making kits are great because they have everything you need in one kit and most include instructions.
3. Jewelry Patterns - There are tons of free jewelry patterns online. We recommend starting with a pair of earrings because they are usually easier. Simple earrings can be completed in less than an hour and require only a few supplies.
