subject: A Place Supply Low-priced Wholesale Jewelry [print this page] A lot of people who are starting to make their own wholesale jewelry get caught up in all the magazines and books and beading supply catalogs and begin thinking that the only way to actually buy beads and jewelry supplies are through specialized wholesale jewelry and beading outlets. To make beautiful bead jewelry you don't have to spend a lot of money on your beads and beading supplies.
But you don't have to buy the clearance beads that are offered up at your local bead store. there's lots of surprising places you can go to buy discount beads.
Discount and warehouse stores: lots of larger stores are now stocking craft supplies, scrap booking materials and even bead jewelry making supplies. These stores sometimes have rotating product stocks and may not always have the beads or supplies you're looking for, so if you find something you'd better buy it right then and there because there's no guarantee you'll see them again.
Large chain art stores: Art and Craft stores are eventually learning that beaded jewelry is big business and now most have at least four aisles full of beads and beading supplies, often at very low prices. and if you're starting out with bead jewelry making, you can almost always find a friendly salesperson who can help you locate the beads you're looking for.
It's amazing what sort of beads and jewelry supplies you can find when you're thinking outside the box. Some of these stores aren't the kind of place you'd normally go to find jewelry supplies, but I've learned to be open-minded when it comes to finding great ways of making jewelry.
Hardware stores: I know you don't normally think of hardware stores when you think of beads, but there's some amazingly inventive ways to use hardware and washers and fasteners of all sort that can be used when you're making your own jewelry. You need to have some creativity to generate some truly matchless and amazingly affordable pieces of jewelry.
So keep an eye out wherever you shop and always be ready to look for and buy some affordable beads. Every time you shop you may be moments away from finding some amazing deals on beads for making jewelry
