Question

i want to know what tools i need also where are the best places to buy beads

Answer 1

It depends on what kin d of jewellery you want to make?

Ear rings ? If so you need ear wires, beads and head pins that you thread the beads onto. Plus a good pair of round nose pliers for needing loops into the head wire to attach it to the ear wires( shepherds crooks etc?)And also wire cutters.

For necklaces you Will need beads, wire/stringing thread and fasteners, as well as round nose pliers and wire cutters.

That is just for starters.
