You love to make jewelry for your friends and family and even sell some. Taking your jewelry making to the next level only makes sense. Here are some tips on how to make money for your beaded jewelry collection.

First make a list of all your supply needs and then some. You will be able then to go out and pick up the tools, beads, thread and supplies you need efficiently. Make sure to buy wholesale, either online or at a store. Make your own when you can such as clasps, ear wire and head pins. Handmade items also add value to your jewelry line. Finally, measure carefully when making your designs, work with the best weight material and reuse any scraps that you can.
