Beaded earrings

Hi All
I know it's not the best way to try and get into something new but I thought I'd chance it here.

Basically I've recently tried my hand at jewellery making.It's more of a hobby and not a new career by any means.However I know we're all trying to save some money and make some money the best way we know how, so this was my attempt. :confused:

I've done quite a bit of practising in making bead earrings, nothing too over the top, and have been selling them on to friends and friends of friends etc for £1 per pair.This has included postage, which admittedly is 2nd class post.
I was just wondering if anyone here would like to know more etc, and perhaps buy some please email me

They're a great idea for storing as gifts for people. Perhaps just a little trinket to bulk out a present.

So if anyone is interested or even just has some advice of how to turn this into a money spinner but time saver, I'd welcome all comments, but please be gentle!

email is cafcgirl@hotmail.com

Thanks all :p

    You could try putting some on Ebay, that kind of thing always sells well there. Also look out for any local table top sales at places like village halls. People love to buy handmade stuff at those. Good Luck!
  • This sounds great! Would you be able to post some photos of the ones you have made?

    not sure if you can, but the referrers board would be your best bet.

    I think you'll need to upload them to a picture hosting service and then link to that.

    Check the T & c's for the site or PM the board guide and they will let you know
