Make Jewelry Beads From Beans or Large Seeds: You can make all sorts of fun beads from dried beans and seeds. Think about coffee beans and other large seeds or beads that could easily be strung on a ribbon. Then you will want to protect your seeds with a spray on sealant to make sure they don’t break and shatter.
Paper Bead Jewelry: This fun idea dates back from the Victorian times when making beads out of paper was a popular hobby. All you do is cut out strips of paper and roll them around a toothpick. You may want to protect these as well so they don’t fray and get damaged at the first hint of moisture. You can play with different types of paper, different colors and even different shaped strips of paper when making your beads.
These are just some of the many affordable alternative items you can make beads jewelry from. If you already know how to make your own handmade jewelry then you probably already possess the knowledge and even the tools to make plenty of cheap beads that can be turned into profitable jewelry!
Too many jewelry pieces to keep track of? A good bead jewelry inventory program can help you track your jewelry inventory, customers and even sales!
