Wholesale Crafty Tip
When you use bigger beads of 30mm or above for making jewelry and necklaces, add small beads of around 10mm to make it look more charming. Don't ever add two 30mm bead in a single string.
While using bigger beads you should always use charming thick thread which can been seen from a distance, this will add glory to shape. Don't just use thin string which can't been seen.
Cheers!

Tearing Handmade Papers
To get a nice torn look on the edge of thick handmade papers, place a ruler about 1/2cm away from your tear line. Using a damp cotton ball, dab the 1/2cm strip. Allow the paper to stand for a minute, then carefully tear the damp part of the paper away. You get a lovely rough and ragged, yet tidy and professional finish to the edge of your paper.

Wholesale Crafty Tip
Cleaning gemstones requires a gentle touch. If you go overboard with chemicals, scrubbing, or ultrasonic cleaners, you run the risk of damaging the very thing you’re trying to protect! Use a soft, dry cloth and remove any surface dirt or grime. If that does not clean your jewelry, a mild soapy solution should be your next resort. Mix some lukewarm (never hot) water with a little bit of gentle, non anti-bacterial dish soap, and soak your piece in the solution for a few minutes. After the grime and dirt has been loosened, you can then use a cloth to continue the lather and scrub away the bad spots. As a last resort, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to lather the surface of the stone in gentle circular motions. Finally, give your jewelery a cool, thorough rinse, and pat dry with a cotton cloth. Voila! Gleaming and beautiful.

Wholesale Crafty Tip
The Jewelers Looping Method is one technique to close an eye pin onto a soldered jump ring . Hold the pair of pliers around 1/2 inch from the end of the eye pin wire and bend it at a 90-degree angle. Grab the end of the bent portion of the wire and tightly wrap it around the pliers creating a complete circle. Make sure you put the soldered jump ring inside before closing the circle.

Spun polyester embroidery thread :
Spun polyester threads are made by spinning or twisting together short, thin lengths of continuous filament polyester fibers like the polyester pillow filler. This process is similar to the way cotton threads are manufactured. A spun polyester thread gives the look of a cotton thread, but it provides superior strength and durability.
Continuous filament and spun polyester embroidery bobbins are wound and packaged as sideless, cardboard sided, plastic sided, magnetic, and the ever mysterious coreless sideless pre-wound embroidery bobbin.
