I have been wanting to learn how to make beaded jewelry for sometime now and have finally decided that now is the time. The problem is- I have no idea where to begin! I have been up and down the aisles at Jo-Ann's and Michael's a zillion times and am just overwhelmed.

I am hoping some of you may be able to direct me to a starting place. A book, a tutorial, a simple beginner's project. Anything, please.

Thank you! Melanie

I would say start at youtube there are tutorials about everything there. Maybe they have a beginner easy jewelry bead project. Another free thing to do is go to the library.
Good luck...have fun1 and show us what you make!

OH you are soooo right Linda! I totally forgot about the library. I have all these ideas running wild in my mind, I guess it's shorting out my brain. LOL

Thank you so much, Lisa! I found a book that kind of goes over the basics and bought the basic tools today. I think that is my biggest stumping block right now- is just how to start because I don't know anything about making jewelry. But the book I found is pretty straight forward. But if I get stumped I will surely send you an email.
