I love to make necklaces and bracelets with my daughter. She has learned to make things and have given beaded items for gifts to her friends! :) We are between beginners and veterans! :)
Penny H. (Kindred Hearts) says
I only “dabble” but I think that’s because I make due with the tools and supplies I have. I’ve been . . . ahem “resisting” really getting into it but now another company I am a rep for also has jewelry. YAY! Would love to win!
Linda Mortensen says
Just starting out and need all the help I can get.

Suzanne says
I am a total newbie. Making my own jewelry seemed like a good way to feed my necklace and bracelet obsession. :)
Theresa Farmer says
I love working with wire!! It’s my newest obsession! Got to here from the memory wire bracelet. Can’t wait to browse this blog and see what else I can find. :)

Hey there! I just used Goodybeads for the first time to make a version of your 5-minute bracelet (which I LOVE and can’t stop wearing; I used braided brown leather and copper findings and it turned out AMAZINGLY!) and I really love the selection. Plus, I got my supplies FAST! What’s not to love?
Laura Lane says
A beginner, bracelets

Great Giveaway! I have been making jewelry for about 13 yrs now. I used to work in semi-precious stones, but lately I’ve caught the vintage bug. My favorite pieces to make are bracelets and lanyards. Good luck everyone!
Gina says
I’m a beginner. I love your tutorials they are very easy to follow.. Thanks
Kathy (Kangaroo Mama) says
I am definitely an amateur but I have been trying my hand at earrings!
Jill-Ann says
Am a huge fan on bracelets! Fun to create and when the design is no longer of interest, recreate that bracelet into a new design! Even at my age, am still learning new techniques etc. When you stop learning, you are just an ‘old person.’! Memory wire is fun and using it in other ways to make it even more exciting…wow! Make many but every time one is made, I keep it or give as gifts. Someday, maybe one will be sold.
Carol Johnston says
I’m 73 and started making natural gem jewelry after I retired from the insurance business. I love the creative process and also seeing how pretty the jewelry looks on others. I’m sometimes quite surprised. I also enjoy taking classes and learning new technics.
wendy says
i’ve made a few attempts to get started in jewelry making, but it’s super easy to get overwhelmed and not know where to begin, so the Five Minute Leather Bracelet was a perfect starting point, thanks!

I have been making my own designs since I was a kid, but only recently have started pursuing the plan of having my own jewelry business!

Making jewelry is one of the fun things I love to do. I’ve been doing it for about 3 years now.
I love looking at tutorials to get ideas for new projects. Of course, mine never are exact
duplicates because I use whatever supplies I have on hand, and I like to put my own
personal spin on anything I make. I sell quite a bit, but I enjoy giving my jewelry as gifts.
I’d love to win! But good luck to everyone!
