Craft stores like Michael's, JoAnn's, A. C. Moore and Hobby Lobby usually have a large assortment of jewelry making supplies including hard to find tools and accessories. They also offer jewelry making classes and free project leaflets. I love to visit craft stores to get creative ideas for making one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
You'll more likely to find expensive jewelry making supplies at Bead boutiques, including Swarovski Crystals, semi-precious stones, gold, silver and designer beads. At these stores, the majority of jewelry making supplies are sold singly instead of in packages.
A little known place to buy vintage and antique jewelry making supplies is the thrift store. You'd be surprised at the beaded necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of new ones. These items can be taken apart and re-strung into more modern creations.
Online jewelry making suppliers like Amazon.com and its Marketplace offer hundreds of materials and equipment for beading. With just a click of your computer mouse you can purchase a jewelry making project while also having access to free tutorials and instructions.
Full service department stores like Walmart have craft sections with inexpensive and somewhat generic beading and other jewelry making supplies and projects. They usually carry a general selection of seed and glass beads and findings.
All good places. Hobby Lobby has a good selection here. H5!
