How to Make Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings – Video on Demand Services
Are you looking for a better way of learning to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings? I know you will want to use this method…learning with video aids. The biggest and the best advantage are replaying the videos as often as needed.
If you are like me, attending classes is wonderful, but the downside is memory retention. When you put into practice what you learned in the classroom you realize that you forgot half the lesson that the teacher taught and your notes which seemed clear during class time is now nonsensical.
Benefits of learning with videos are:
- Rewind, fast forward, reverse, pause, play and repeat as often as necessary.
- Learn at you own pace.
- Economic savings.
- Select your area of interest.
- Details are clearly defined.
- Instand gratification.
- Able to view to refresh your memory
- Jewelry making tips and tricks.
- Visual…many of us have to see in order to make a jewelry craft. Video allows for magnification so that you can see the details.
Envision yourself being able to make beaded jewelry. Making beaded jewelry will open many interesting avenues as a new hobby or as a career. As you search for your interest medium you will discover many beautiful objects that are incorporated into this form of art.
What type of beaded jewelry would you like to make?
Have you wondered how a classical pearl necklace is made? Would you like to make a crystal necklace accented with gold beads? How about a heart shaped pendant or how to wire wrap a gem or memory wire a bracelet? Or to bead weave stretch nylon into a bracelet?
Visualize yourself making these beautiful jewelry pieces with your skilled hands and your creative designing talents making personalized gifts for friends and relatives.
Take time to study jewelry catalogs. I have discovered that this will help you to get familiar with terminology and give you a jump start when asking for jewelry supplies. It’s a shortcut if you do not want to walk the retail stores to see what is currently fashionable.
Knowledge is power. Read and acquaint yourself with the history of jewelry making. Nowadays there is a big interest in vintage or antique, retro, estate and beaded jewelry. Learning the origins from primitive to present day will stir your imagination and help stimulate your creativity into originating new jewelry designs.
Visit bead stores to learn about origin, size, colors, luster, and cleaning of pearls and other types of beads.
As you walk about the store you will see beads of glass, acrylic or plastic, crystallized, fabric, and resin. Natural beads of wood, nut, certain plant seeds, bone, horn, and teethh are available. All types of sea shells or sea life like sea horses, starfish and fantasy mermaids have been molded and finished in readiness to be fastened to chain or beads.
Both bead stores and craft shops will also have artificial metals imitating silver, gold, and copper. For instance, copper mixed with zinc becomes brass. Mixing silver, copper and a bit of gold makes sterling silver. Copper can be alloyed into bronze.
Visit jewelry stores to get familiar with the types of gold, silver, and platinum settings. Learn to recognize different precious stones; diamonds, sapphire, rubies, emeralds and many more. Look at jewelry closures, chains, and all types of hooks, clasps and locks.
Video on Demand means that you do not have to wait for a video to arrive in the mail nor do you have to go to a store to shop and bring it home. You just push a button on your computer keyboard and the instructor with the lesson appears through the magic of technology. That instructor is ready to teach on your demand.
