Get a cloth place mat to bead on - it keeps the beads from rolling. Or one of those non-skid rubbery things you put down on the floor under your rug? Those are great! If you have a Dollar Tree in your area, check them for tools such as pliers and wire cutters. Sometimes they even stock beads & findings. It pays to drop in every so often & see what they have. Crimp beads are a must & tiger tail beading wire, which is very thin strands of steel covered in vinyl. Tiger tail will hold almost any type of bead for a long time. When you make a little money, you may want to invest in a pair of round nose pliers (to make jump rings & loops), crimping pliers (puts a very nice touch to a plain flattened crimp bead) and crimp covers. Findings are a must, too. Findings are the clasps, earring wires, jumprings, everything you need to finish off your work. Good luck! I hope you do well!!<a href="http://www.websbestshoes.com/85054"> *~*Ms Kitty*~* COUGARIFFIC</a> Needle nose pliers are a must, even if you are just starting out.
