A favourite hobby that is growing fast is jewellery making. Here at Calico Laine, we now have an extensive range of Crafts to ensure that all of your needs are catered for in one place! To learn the basics of jewellery making, beading and the various other techniques, I would always recommend a well reviewed book or online video tutorial to practise the techniques  using the various tools that are required to make your own jewellery. One of the first options to consider from our Crafts section is our clear beading elastic that is available in two widths of 0.5mm and 1mm. This is the ideal Craft item for delicate jewellery making and is a great place to start! Next, we have a 2mm thonging that is available in both black and brown, as well as a 3mm suede thonging that is available in a broad selection of colours including tan and royal blue! Craft items  such as these can be used as stand alone thonging or can be used with coloured beads or other Jewellery decorations! Should you want to start jewellery making with a kit that contains all your essentials in one handy place, then look no further than our Jewellery Making Kits here at Calico Laine. All of our Jewellery Making Kits come in a wide range of colours and include all basics that are essential to get you started including items such as beads, elastic, snippers and glass crystals to name just a few! If you have any creations that you would like to share with us we would love to hear from you, so don't forget to share all your Jewellery photographs with us on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
