You don’t need to have completed a course to be able to make your own jewellery, it’s something that is becoming more widely accessible to the generally public without the need for too many complex skills to make beautiful pieces.

Many craft stores now sell jewellery making kits and you can order many supplies online to help to cut costs. Most of the craft sets come with instructions on how to make a few different items but often the best way to learn the different techniques is to watch free online tutorials.

Making your own jewellery can be very therapeutic and can be a real money saver in making great personalised gifts for your family at Christmas and other occasions.

It’s always best to start off with a small beginners kit then if you find that you enjoy it you can always add to your collection by buying additional products online, if you show a real flair for it you could even look to sell the pieces you make.
