Selecting your beading supplies
Make a list of the basic jewelry making supplies you will need based on
the design or pattern you have selected. This list should include tools,
such as beading pliers and glue, as well as supplies, like china beads
or clasps, and miscellaneous items, like containers for supplies or bead
boards.
Visit several local or online crafts stores so that you can browse and compare offerings. Using your beading supplies list, do price comparisons on basic tools. For decorative items, such as beads, visit a number of stores if possible, so that you can browse a wide selection of offerings.
Consider purchasing a jewelry making kit. Aside from relieving you of the worry that you may have forgotten some supplies, these kits come in a wide price range, cover many types of popular jewelry making and usually come with a booklet and patterns to try.
Select and purchase your supplies based on price, attractiveness and suitability for your project. Remember to factor in the cost of shipping when you purchase online.

Instructions simple chain maille charm bracelet
Open 50 jump rings. To open a jump ring, grab one side of the opening of
the jump ring with one pair of pliers and do the same on the other side
with the other pair of pliers. Gently twist both pairs of jewelry pliers so
that both sides of the opening go in different directions. Do not pull
straight out because this will warp and weaken the jump ring.
Bend the outside part of a paper clip and slip two closed jump rings on it so that they hang from the bend of the paper clip.
Put one open jump ring through both closed jump rings that are hanging from the paper clip and close it just like you opened it, only in reverse. Put one pair of pliers on one side of the opening, the other pair of pliers on the other side and gently twist so that the two ends meet. Put another open jump ring through the two closed ones hanging from the paper clip and close it as well.
Repeat Step 3 and check your length with a tape measure until you have created a chain that is 6 inches long. Seven inches is the most common size for bracelets, but you can always measure your wrist or another person's wrist for a more accurate size if you have the chance. The length of the clasp will make up the last inch.
Attach the clasp to the end of the bracelet with two more open jump rings. You can now add some charms at different points on the chain, looping smaller open jump rings through a pair of rings, placing a charm on it and closing the jump ring.

Jewelry making is not entirely based on wholesale beads
Of course, jewelry making is not entirely based on beads. Even
if beads are the elements that give the final, decorative touch to the
resulting beadwork, there are other components that practically offer
support for the beads. As a result, for our earrings, apart from the
wholesale beads of your choice, you will also need ear wires, head pins, a wire
twisting tool and a wire cutting tool. Make sure that the ear wires and
the head pins are made from a reliable material, such as sterling
silver. Don't be cheap with such parts of the earrings: they will not be
quality products if the material breaks only because you were too mean
to invest a bit more in more reliable materials.
You also need to be careful with pushing the beads onto the head pin. You will place onto the head pin as many beads you consider necessary for the final length of the earrings. When you are done with the jewelry beads, you will use the wire cutting tool in order to cut whatever length of wire is in excess. Be careful: the same as it happens with any other kind of jewelry making, earring crafting requires delicate actions. Make sure that there is some wire left: this part will have to be curled into a small circle with the wire twisting tool.

Guides on how to clean glass beads
Cut the clasps off necklaces and bracelets with scissors or wire cutters
and remove the beads from the stringing cord or wire. Save clasps and
other reusable findings. Check the beads carefully and discard any that
are chipped or cracked
Fill the bowl or pan with warm water, and stir in detergent.
Place beads in the bowl or pan; and swish to loosen dirt and body oils. Soak for about an hour.
Drain the beads in a colander, and rinse thoroughly under warm water. Rinse bowl or pan.
Refill bowl or pan with the second quart of warm water; add vinegar, and mix. Swish beads for a minute or two, then drain and rinse in colander as before.
Place a towel on a table or counter that won't be needed until the beads have dried overnight. Spread the beads on the towel, and blot them dry.
Check to see if all beads are clean. Use the toothbrush or cotton swabs to remove any remaining grime. Wash and rinse until you are satisfied with the result.
Spread the clean beads on a dry towel, and air dry them overnight. If china beads are not dry next morning, blow dry with dryer set on lowest setting.

Jump rings
Jump rings are a very popular connector to use in jewelry making. They
come in different kinds of materials, colors and sizes, ranging from 2mm
to 1cm and above. Although it is possible to make your own it, most
people buy them fairly cheaply at jewelry supply stores.
Jump rings differ from split rings which look very much like the ring that holds your keys together. They are basically a metal loop of wire which is cut in one place. As basic requirements for jewelry making, those rings are a necessary part of your jewelry making equipment. If you are a beginner of jewelry making, you need to lean two easy beading techniques: how to open and close jump rings, how to make a pendant with jump ring bail. Both sound very simple, but you'd better to open and close them carefully in order to not damage your rings.
When purchasing jump rings, it is important to note how they are measured, as everyone does it differently. Some places measure the inner diameter of the rings, others use the outer diameter. Some prefer inches, some are metric and other combine both systems. Adding to the confusion, wire gauges are not consistent across metal types. The gauge refers to how thick the wire is. Different numbering systems are used, depending on the type of metal. You should always ask your supplier for the exact measurements of their rings after spring back to ensure you are buying what you need.
