How
to Start a Beading making Business in Nigeria
A beading business specializes in the design, creation and
distribution of beaded items such as beaded jewelry, crafts and
fabrics/clothing, or in selling beads and beading materials.
Beading is popular amongst professional crafters and home
hobbyists alike. Beading does not require a lot of space or
significant technical training, making it a very accessible home
business option.
Bead making is a skill that can be learned without any
complexity. It does not entail too much anxiety. It is also easy
to learn and less time consuming. The materials that are
required in making beads are very cheap and very easy to get.
When you attend occasions like weddings, traditional festivals,
and even corporate events, you will agree with me that beads
have become a trending part of nowadays fashion and lifestyle.
Principally for women. Such that, if you decide to start
assembling beads, not just for yourself alone, but commercially,
you won’t run into failure. You can work or school and still
make bead alongside whatever you are doing and use the returns
from selling the beads to support you financially.
There is no definite location for making beads. This means that
you can make the beads from the comfort of your domicile or even
when you are less busy at work.
There are few basic steps you need to know when learning how to
make beads. Then you can use the knowledge you have acquired in
making various types of beads such as wire works and beaded
necklaces. You may not get the skill appropriately at the
beginning but with constant practice, you can be sure that you
will soon become a professional in bead making. Back it up with
persistence and determination and it will propel you to a
greater height.
AFTER GETTING THE MATERIALS, THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS YOU
SHOULD TAKE:
Decide on the length of the fishing line that you want to use
for the bead. Measure the wire and cut it with the cutter. The
length of the fishing line you will cut depends on the style of
the necklace you are going to make. But, be sure to add a few
inches for the clasp/hook.
Start by holding the fishing line you have cut on your left and
right hand (How you thread the beads and the number of beads you
string per time depends on the design you are trying to make)
and push one bead to the left and one bead to the right of the
fishing line until it gets to the number of beads you desire.
You can exchange the colors of the beads to create a unique
design of your choice.
After stringing the fishing line with the beads, add the stopper
(two on the left and another two on the right side of the bead).
Then fix the chain hook. Don’t pull the fishing line too tight.
Leave a little space in between the beads so that the necklace
will not look too rigid or triangular in shape, but it will have
a round look instead.
The final step is to clip the fishing line with your round nose
pliers to hold the bead in place and your necklace bead is ready
to wear.
This is just a guideline for learning how to make beads. After
you have mastered these techniques, it will be a lot easier to
make beads of various styles/designs and to even expand into
making other clothing accessories like earrings, bracelets and
purses with beads.
