[pjozzie 10]

Hi

Ive started my first lesson on a jewellery making course im doing, i loved it, but im very basic, i need all the tools like pliers and those rounded ones to bend and some wire, beads, clasps, jump rings.

Basically a starter pack, other than hobbycraft can anyone point me in the right direction please, all your advice welcomed.

Thanks for reading

Jewels and Tools

Walsh's (Birmingham)

 

both online there are quite a few to choose from though to be honest a lot of the tools my missus has aren't really different to ones I use around the house.

I sell the tools too, and all the supplies. I've also got a section on the website that shows some basic methods for making loops, fitting fasteners etc. It's on the Ideas and Methods section.

Does any body know where I can buy a craft drill. I want to use it to drill tiny holes througn the beads.

You mean like a dremel? I think I got mine from Maplin, but B&Q etc. should have them, too.

Hello pjozzie,

 

Yay to starting and loving jewellery making!

 

I've just opened a new bead shop in Sheffield city centre and sell loose beads, findings and tools too. Come in and have a look around or if you just want some advice on technique or materials. We could have a chat and put together a starter pack that's just right for you starting out.

 

Hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch!

 

Yvonne
