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.

  1. You don't have time to search craft stores for everything needed to get started.

  2. You don't have access to or don't want to pay for expensive face-to-face jewelry making classes.

  3. 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

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.

Get This All-in-One Kit
and Save Yourself a lot of Time and Money

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.
