7-day plan

Beading Starter

1

Day 1

Buy the 6 must-have products from the shopping list. Choose apatite beads if unsure.

\ud83d\udca1 Compare prices on Beadworks and Panduro — often 20–30 kr difference.
2

Day 2

Set up your workspace: beading mat, pliers, and good lighting. Learn the basics of crimping on YouTube (2 videos, max 10 min).

\ud83d\udca1 Follow “Beading for Beginners” channel for English content.

Day 3

Practice threading beads without wire first. Feel how the beads lie. Check if hole size matches your needle/wire.

\ud83d\udca1 Take your time — rushing makes bad jewelry.
4

Day 4

Make your first bracelet. Start with 8–10 beads, attach with crimp beads, crimp, and attach clasp. Total time: 20–30 min.

\ud83d\udca1 Measure the bracelet against your wrist before cutting wire.

Day 5

Check if the bracelet holds. Use the tandem method (two crimps) if unsure about strength.

\ud83d\udca1 If too loose, crimp the crimps again.

Day 6

Make your first pair of earrings. Choose 6–8 apatite beads per earring. Attach hooks with jump rings.

\ud83d\udca1 Check that jump rings are properly closed — this is the most common failure point.

Day 7

Give away your first piece of jewelry, or take a photo and post on Instagram with #beginnerjewelry. Write “I made this” — the response will surprise you.
