Beadwork is a simple thing to learn. To start you require string and beads.

Done.

At it's most simple, that is actually all you need. Clasps on jewelry are good, however not necessary. You can bead a loop at one end, and a ball at the other. Thus the one loops above the other joining the two ends of your necklace.

Knowing how to tie an excellent knot is important. Last thing you want is to finish, hold up the piece, and it fall apart on you. Even worse, would be to have it fall apart while a customer is looking at it. Because of those worries I make use of glue. A little adhesive put on my knots for a little piece of mind. Some say that is actually fraud, but I don't care. They make glue for beading, and what is more essential is that they make it where it has an almost string type tip, letting you get glue just where you need it instead of all over anything else. If they sell such a product, then lots of people are doing it. I don't refer to it as cheating, 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. Difficult to mess that up.

An excellent set of small pliers is helpful as well when doing beadwork. You can actually work without, man has for ages, but they make them, and they do help. Often times you're working with actually tiny line, and pliers can help you get a hold of it and make things tight as well as neat.

Another handy thing is a jewelry tray. Again, not a necessity, however it lets you lay your beads out as you want them designed. You can play with your design here without stringing as well as restringing trying to find the right balance. Also, the trays will have measurements on them, so you'll know how long the piece you're making is. This little, few dollars tray, can greatly cut your time down.

As a pastime, or business goes, doing beadwork has a fairly small overhead, and can be one of the most rewarding jobs of your life.
