Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
When designing and crafting a cluster pendant, place the strung piece on a leatherette (or other type) of bust so you can view how it "drapes" and construct the cluster in it's finished position.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
When molding polymer clay..be sure to dust your molds with talcum powder...it makes the clay release unharmed.
When opening jumprings, pull them apart rather than twist them...it makes closure much tighter when your done.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
A great way to clean real natural-colour (not dyed) pearls is to submerge them in iodine-rich sea salt water. Just put some salt into a suitable bowl (add a few drops of iodine), cover with about an inch or two with water, add pearls and swirl them around for a bit, leave to stand for a few minutes & swirl some more, then dry/polish with a natural soft cloth.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
For safety reasons, at least one jump ring should not be soldered closed in jewelry. If an item constructed this way is caught on something the jump ring will open, allowing the jewelry to breakaway. Hopefully, both the person and the jewelry will be relatively unharmed. Just add another jump ring and the item will be as good as new.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
For a beginner making a beaded jewelry necklace. If you are using large beads, especially square or rectangle shapes, be sure to put smaller round or spacer beads between them. It allows your necklace to curve and hang properly. Always hold your strung necklace as you would wear it before finishing the ends.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
Have you considered making beads out of polymer clay and want to make unique pendants for your bead collection but can not afford the costs to buy all the equipment necessary? Starting any new hobby can often times be expensive but good news for lovers of polymer beads, there are ways around buying expensive polymer ovens and expensive shape design equipment. Polymer clay ovens are just a huge oven made on a smaller scale. It is more of a practical solution for someone who doesn't want to use their kitchen oven for baking beads! If you choose to use your own oven I would highly suggest getting a cooking tray made solely for baking and making polymer beads. (If you put a piece of aluminum foil underneath your beads when cooking it will not harm them!) Also, don't worry about buying expensive pendant molders, I like to use cookie cutters and jello cutters. They work just find to make unique pendants that are big, bold, and absolutely beautiful!
