Tools
Necessary for all hobbies, tools come in many shapes and sizes. For beaded jewellery making, there are 3 basic sets of tools you will need - a pair of crimping pliers to squish crimps down, a pair of twirlie wirlies to twists loops on head and eye pins and a pair of standard wire cutters to trim the end of you pieces. If you're going to work with memory wire, memory wire cutters are important, as they are tough enough to handle the hardened wire. We also have a growing range of more specialist tools, including bead needles, knotting tools and more.
