crafts section, and you are set.
What Do I Need?
Starting to bead is simple, you can begin with a handful of beads and a
Klutz Book Of Beads has a lot of instructions, and provides you with a lot of basic materials you will want to use, not to mention a lot of beads. You can use a kit like that to learn some basic, and not so basic, techniques that you can apply to the provided beads or some of your own. The instructions include photographs, and are very easy to follow.
If you don't feel like purchasing a kit, there are a lot of doorganisers'>bead organisers, is probably your very first step.

Different Shaped Beads
Beads of different shapes can be fun, and change the flavour of a piece by adding something unexpected.
