How To Make Jewelry Easily?

How can I make jewelry without tools?

• I am going to make some jewelry for my mom for christmas. I have no beading making tools. How can I make the things with tons and tons of beads, different strings and craft skills.

• Answer:

  I think your best bet is to buy only one thing, elastic cord specifically made for making bracelets. If you have only string you really can't make something she can take off and on unless it's a long necklace. The elastic cord, which is round and sort of clear, very inexpensive and readily available at craft stores. All you have to do is string the beads on the elastic cord (there are instructions on the package) and tie a knot. When I make this type of bracelet I tie the knot nest to a bead with a big hole, then pop the knot inside that bead so it doesn't show. The elastic cord is really nice because it makes the bracelets easy to get off an on. It's fine to make multiple bracelets in the same color family. Your mom will want to wear two or three at a time and it's nice if they match. Good luck!
