Bead Jewelry Kit Contains Everything a Beginner Needs to Get Started

Dear
Beginning Jewelry Maker,
If you are interested
in learning how to make beaded jewelry and you don't have a clue how to
get started, then you have come to the right place.
I have put together
a starter bead kit that has everything you need to master the basics of
jewelry beading.
If you fit one of the
following descriptions, then this kit is perfect for you.
You don't have time
to search craft stores for everything needed to get started.
You don't have access
to or don't want to pay for expensive face-to-face jewelry making classes.
You are looking for
a nice crafting gift for someone you know who wants to learn how to
bead.
Part 1: Seven Video Classes to Build Your Foundation
The core of this all-in-one package is my online video home-study course, "Bead Jewelry Making
for the Clueless Jewelry Artist WannaBe."
This course gives you
online access to Seven video classes that show you the basics of both
bead stringing and bead weaving.
"You had so many suggestions and tips to help me turn out a
piece of jewelry that looked professionally finished!"

Dear Eri,
I really enjoyed your
Video Home-Study Course. Everything was very easy to understand.
Your instructions were very clear and your tone of voice was very
soothing and patient. I felt like I had a very patient friend teaching
me how make jewelry. I didn't feel overwhelmed or confused at any
time.
I also appreciated
your attention to detail. You had so many suggestions and tips to
help me (a beginner) turn out a piece of jewelry that looked professionally
finished. I really appreciated that because I hope to sell my jewelry
one day.
I took a jewelry class
at my local craft store before I found your Video Home-Study Course.
The class cost 20.00 plus the cost of supplies (another 10.00-15.00
dollars.) I made a three-strand beaded bracelet with charms. Even
though it was pretty, I was disappointed with the quality of my
bracelet. It did not lay "right" on my wrist, but felt stiff and
awkward.
After I got your Video
Home-Study Course, I learned an excellent tip from you that helped
me fix my bracelet. Now my bracelet is lovely, AND professionally
finished. It lays perfectly on my wrist and I am very proud of it.
Thank you for sharing
your talent and instruction!

Sincerely
Susan Hook

In
addition to your seven videos I also included additional information in
the Video Home-Study Course to help make learning jewerly making as easy
and enjoyable as possible.
BONUS #1: Additional Jewelry Making Tips and Tricks Video
I occasionally create short jewellry making tips video tutorials to help
my students. I assembled all of them together and you can access each
one of them in the same video library that contains your seven lessons.
Here's
a list of the jewelry making tips on video:

BONUS #2: Online Jewelry Supply Vendors List
There
are many jewelry suppliers on the internet. I have put together a list
for you of over 20 online suppliers that I recommend. These are
the same suppliers that I use all the time.
BONUS #3: Online Jewelry Making Educational Resources
There are many online resources and communities where jewelry making experts gather to exchange information, ask questions, and answer them.
I put together for you a list of the the top ten.
These are the same communities that I visit regularly to exchange information with fellow jewelry makers and they will help you tremendously.
Part 2: Your Video Classes on Two DVDs
Just in case you don't
have high speed internet access, that's OK because I also include in the
kit a two DVD set that contains the same video lessons found in the online
home-study course.
This is very valuable
because it means you get all the valuable bonuses in the home-study course,
and you still can watch the video classes on a DVD instead of watching
them on the interet.
Part 3: Jewelry Making Tools, Bead, and Supplies
Of course, you can get
all the supplies you need to complete the video classes on your own.
If you prefer to do that then I recommend just getting the video home-study course. The required
materials list is also provided with the course.
Click the link if you
want to learn more about the beginner
jewelry making home-study course.
However, if you don't
want to deal with the hassle of getting all the supplies on your own,
I include in the kit all of the tools, beads, and supplies you need to
complete all seven video classes.
These include round
nose pliers, chain nose pliers, flush cutter, over 240 swarovski crystal
beads, 500 seed beads, two spools of stringing wire, one spool of monofilament
string, a bead mat, bead trays,49 additional parts including head pins,
eye pins, extenders, clam shells, jump rings, crimp beads, toggle clasps,
spring rings, and french ear wires.
You will find everything
you need to make the beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and earrings found
on the videos.
As you can see I have packed a lot of value into this kit. I don't believe there is anything
else like it available on the internet.
Just how much value?
Well, if you purchased the online course, the DVDs, and all the tools and supplies
seperately,
the retail cost would be over $300.
But putting it all
together in one package saves me costs too, so that I can offer the
entire kit to you for 50% off the retail price.
That means you can
get everything for only $149.97 and that includes free shipping.
As with any new skill, you will be more encouraged to continue learning if you
start out on the right foot with a positive experience.
My courses have taught hundreds of crafters how to make beautiful jewelry, and I
know this all-in-one kit will give you the start you need.
I encourage you to invest in this kit and learn what I believe is the most fun and
fulfilling craft there is.
Yours for Beautiful Jewelry Making,
Eri Attebery
