Jewellery + Hardware

Oh I wish I could help but I suck with bead names Did you ever find out?

My first try with this style of ring.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to buy chains for jewellery in the UK (London ideally)? Usually I just go to John Lewis, but they only ever have one sort. I just want cheap simple stuff, and online I can only ever find expensive precious metal ones.

I bought a groovy glass bracelet at a thrift store recently. I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet, so I'll try and describe it: It's got big round glass disks, about 1.5" in diameter and maybe 1/2" thick, side by side, strung on elastic. The beads are kind of a glass...

Hi everyone! this is a gorgeous necklace from Accessorize = way too expensive I'm trying to come up with an idea to do it myself, without using kilometers of thread. Any idea? xoxo...

Love these wrap bracelets they are super cute and u can really personalize them with charms and beads.

I want to make one of these: https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/seed-bead-fringe-necklace and really any jewelry. I've made stuff before but the jump rings never stay attached to the chain or the wire or charm, if it is thin. Anyone have any advice on how to avoid having...

I run a monthly bead subscription box called Blueberry Cove Beads. At the moment I'm redoing our website, and one of the features I'm planning for the new site is some tutorials based on the box contents each month. We've been up and running for just over a year and one thing...

Hey people! I'm looking to buy some nice glass beads online, but i'm wondering where i should get them from. I might get them from Dollarbead.com, but i have never ordered from them so i'm unsure. I normally scavenge through the packs at Walmart for a dollar each. Where do you...

Can someone create a tutorial that shows how to make this wire wrapped bangle. I can't seem to make this correctly.

I was thinking clock hands but I have no idea where I could buy some. Does anyone have any alternatives to that?

Hey, remember my fairy dust bottle: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/fairy-dust-winx-club-2 well I wanna make it into a necklace, I tried turning it into a choker, but that looked better on the Dragon Queen in her enchantix form. If I can turn it into a necklace, is there...

Okay ive seen it done but i cant find a tutorial ANYWHERE. . . how do you bead(with seed beads) a perler bead graph?!?!?! thanks

If you're anything like me, wearing jewellery that's anything less than pure silver/gold will turn you green (even if its silver plated or stainless steel!) But, I thought I'd share a little tip with you guys. If you're having a problem with this, why not cover the back of...

I am not sure how I should go about putting the bobby pins on the pieces I cut from an old necklace. The wire is too flimsy to wrap around anything, already cut it probably too short if that could have been possible anyhow. I was toying with this for awhile and now that I am...

Hi! I bought some cheap chain a while ago - it looks alright, but it's just a bit to yellowish for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it look better? Possibly making it look older with some sort of stain or dye, but I don't know how I'd do that.

I was wondering...does anyone know what these are called in English? http://www.bead-it.nl/imgupload/shop_products/7485/9598.jpg Thanks so much!

Does anyone have any recommendations for drilling holes in plastic items like buttons or keyboard keys? I am interested in hearing what works well for you. Thanks.

so i'm trying to make some jewelry with fishing line because it seems to work great however i'm not sure how to keep the knot from slipping . can someone help please?? I've tried searching but i cant find anything online. it has to be a knot because its for rings.

Hi crafty gals and guys, I'm wanting to try mental stamping (letters on a wee brass dog tag) but I've not got a bench block (big lump of mental as far as I can see) and feel unwilling to part with 15 for one. Is there something I could use as a cheaper alternative?

Hi! does anyone have experience with painting on an acrylic bangle. What kind of paint do you use and how do you make it last? Cheers~

I got a friend of mine to order a bunch of molds from eBay so I can make jewelry and adorn dress and bags and such with them. I've seen lots of people using cameos and think they are simply the bee's knees, but my question is this: Does anyone make their own from from a mold?...
