BKS-67682-01.indd 8 4/2/13 12:18 PM Tools & Materials

Excellent tools and materials for making jewelry are available in bead and craft stores, through catalogs, and on the Internet. Here chainnose pliers are the essential supplies you’ll need for the projects in this book. TOOLS

Chainnose pliers have smooth, flat inner jaws, and the tips taper to a point. Use them for gripping, bending wire, and for opening and closing loops and jump rings.

Roundnose pliers have smooth, tapered, conical jaws used to roundnose pliers make loops. The closer to the tip you work, the smaller the loop will be.

Use the front of a wire cutters’ blades to make a pointed cut and the back of the blades to make a flat cut. Do not use your jewelry-grade wire cutters on memory wire, which is extremely hard; use heavy-duty wire cutters, or bend the memory wire back and forth until it breaks.

Crimping pliers have two grooves in their jaws that are used to wire cutters fold and roll a crimp bead into a compact shape.

Make it easier to open split rings by inserting the curved jaw of split-ring pliers between the wires.

Beading needles are coded by size. The higher the number, the finer the beading needle. Unlike sewing needles, the eye of a beading needle is almost as narrow as its shaft. In addition to the size of the bead, the number of times you will pass through the bead also affects the needle size that you will use; if you will pass through a bead multiple times, you need to use a thinner needle. crimping pliers A hammer is used to harden wire or texture metal. Any hammer with a flat head will work, as long as the head is free of nicks that could mar your metal. The light ball-peen hammer shown here is one of the most commonly used hammers for jewelry making. hammer

A bench block provides a hard, smooth surface on which to hammer wire and metals pieces. An anvil is similarly hard but has different surfaces, such as a tapered horn, to help form wire into different shapes.

SEED BEADS seed beads

A huge variety of beads is available, but the beads most commonly used in the projects in this book are seed beads. Seed beads come in packages, tubes, and hanks. A standard hank (a looped bundle of beads strung on thread) contains 12 20-in. (51 cm) strands, but vintage hanks are often much smaller. Tubes and packages are usually cube beads measured in grams and vary in size. Seed beads have been manufactured in many and texture. Japanese and Czech seed beads can be sizes ranging from the largest, 5 0 (also called “E used together, but a Japanese seed bead is slightly beads”), which are about 5 mm wide, to tiny size larger than the same size Czech seed bead. 20 0 or 22 0, which aren’t much larger than grains Seed beads also come in sparkly cut versions. of sand.

Bugle beads are thin glass tubes. They can be Japanese seed beads produce a uniform surface sized by number or length, depending on where they are made. Japanese size 1 bugles are about 2 mm long, but bugles can be made even longer than 30 mm. They can be hex-cut, straight, or twisted, but the selection of colors, sizes, shapes, and finishes is limited. Seed beads also come in a variety of other Czech seed shapes, including triangles, cubes, and drops. beads In stitches where the beads meet each other end to end or side by side — peyote stitch, brick stitch, and square stitch — try using Japanese cylinder beads to achieve a smooth, flat surface. For a more textured surface, use Czech or round Japanese seed beads. For right-angle weave, in which groups of four or more beads form circular stitches, the rounder the seed bead, the better; otherwise you risk having gaps. Round seed beads also are better for netting and strung jewelry.
