Good Jewelry for Bad Girls. I've been known to use a little bit of everything, from semiprecious stone beads and pendants to tiny plastic hot dogs. My style icons are much more likely to include drag queens, burlesque performers, and black and white movie darlings than anyone with the surname Hilton.
Crafty Tips:
1.Trader Joe's reusable grocery bags fit the average bead tray perfectly for portable use.
2.Never be afraid to dissemble a project you're not happy with and start over--that's the nice thing about beads, they aren't perishable.
3.Rings n' Things and Sky Blue Pink are two good wholesale jewelry findings websites if you have a vendor ID number.
4.Customers like to know what kind of stones their jewelry is made out of, so be sure to ask bead shop owners what the names are if they aren't marked.
5.If you like plastic charms, Sand Scripts is a good place to get a lot for relatively cheap.
