Beadwork is an easy thing to learn. To start you need thread as well as beads.

Done.

At it's simplest, that is really all you require. Clasps on jewelery are generally nice, however not required. You can bead a loop at one end, and a ball at the other. So the one loops above the other joining the 2 ends of your necklace.

Knowing how to tie a good knot is essential. Final thing you would like is to end, hold up the piece, and it fall apart on you. Even worse, would be to have it fall apart when a buyer is looking at it. Because of those fears I use adhesive. A little bit of adhesive added to my knots for some piece of mind. Some tell that is cheating, however I don't care. They make gum for beading, and what is more essential is the fact that they make it where it has an almost thread type tip, letting you get glue exactly where you need it and not all over anything else. If they sell such a product, then many individuals are doing it. I don't call it fraud, I call it quality. And if knots aren't your specialty, they make devises to help you get a good tight knot up close and personal. Hard to mess that up.

An excellent set of small pliers is beneficial as well while doing beadwork. You can certainly work without, man has for a long time, however they make them, and they do help. Sometimes you are working with actually tiny line, and pliers can help you get hold of it to make things tight as well as neat.

Another useful thing is a jewelery dish. Again, not a must-have, but it lets you lay your beads out as you need them designed. You can play with your design here without stringing as well as restringing looking for the right balance. Also, the trays have measurements on them, so you will know how long the piece you are making is. This little, few dollars tray, can greatly cut your time down.

As an interest, or business goes, doing beadwork has relatively small overhead, and can be one of the most satisfying jobs you have ever had.
