Introduction to Jewelry Making: Part 1: Stringing

If you have always wanted to learn to make jewelry, but were afraid it would be too difficult to learn; if you have tried jewelry making, but are still unsure of yourself and of what to do next; or if you just want some great looking jewelry that you can proudly say, you made yourself, then this series is perfect for you and will lead you, happily and comfortably, along the path to becoming a master jewelry maker.

The truth is, jewelry making isn’t really hard to learn or do. Prehistoric man-made jewelry. Primitive tribes around the world have made jewelry. And who doesn’t remember stringing colored macaroni, or some loopy breakfast cereal, onto a piece of yarn, and proudly presenting it to your mother? If some Neanderthal ancestor, a tribesman with no Internet access, or your 5-year-old self could figure it out, you should have no problems making the jewelry presented in "Introduction to Jewelry Making".

In this first book of the series, you will be taught the basic techniques of “Stringing” by two master instructors who will encourage you to dive right in and start making jewelry beginning on page 1.

Each of the nine projects includes:
- A complete materials and tools list.
- Detailed step by step instructions.
- Photos and illustrations to guide and show you the critical steps.
- Notes, tips, and warnings to further help you in completing your project and improving your jewelry making experience.
- Links to the Technique Sheets found at the back of the book to teach and guide you in learning the proper jewelry making techniques you will need for each project.
- A resource page with links to where you can find jewelry kits, materials, and additional guides and tutorials.

You will learn stringing, crimping, knotting and some basic wire work. You will be working with beautiful beads made from crystal, glass, acrylic, metal, pearls, and semi-precious stones.

And when you have finished the nine projects included in the book, and are ready for new challenges, we have a special bonus for you: 4 free jewelry tutorials you can download and use to practice your new skills and make even more jewelry.

Making your own jewelry is rewarding, it’s inexpensive, it means everything you make and wear is custom made by you then fits perfectly, and, most of all, it’s fun.
