Jewelry Making Kits
When I used to teach jewelry making classes, I found that creating my own kits was a wonderful way to get organized and help my students at the same time. Plus, very often they would purchase extra kits to take home with them. They really save time for both the teacher and student.

You can also sell jewelry making kits over the Internet or at shows. Rock shows were another good fit for me when I sold my jewelry. I kept these kits in a basket, and I sold a fair number of them at every show.

There are many ways to go about creating kits, and steps could vary depending on the type of jewelry you make and sell. I have sold kits for beaded, chain, and memory wire jewelry. However, this process could also be adapted for wire, macramé, fabrication, or even basic soldering projects. A good deal of preliminary work is needed up front in order to determine how to put together the kits, and in this how-to article I'll explain how you can start making your own jewelry making kits.
