My First Steps to make Unique Jewelry of beads and headpins

Unique Enamel red ball on the end headpins made of copper

The basic equipment needed to begin working with beads is very simple.
At first, probably the only items you will need to buy especially will be a good pair of pliers and, probably, a pair of metal snips.
On etsy store you can buy including wire cutters, round-nosed pliers and snipe-nosed pliers.
You will also need beading needles and some small, sharp sewing scissors.
Remember to choose a thread that is suitable for the beads you are using.

The piece of fine wire used in place of a beading needle; nylon twine, which can be used with large-holed beads; silver and gold elastic thread, which is perfect for quick bracelets and anklets; tiger tail (plastic-coated wire), which is usually finished off with calotte crimps; monofilament, which is easy to use but not suitable for lightweight beads; and linen cord, which is available in a variety of colors and looks good simply knotted before and after attractive beads.
