Design Accessories

Since young we might have dream of becoming a designer who works using own inspiration and creativity. Your dream can come true if you like design and you always wish to have your own pieces of work. You just need to have some practise during your free time and you can combine your imagination and illusion into your own piece of work.


Making earrings is one of the easiest design you can kick start with. Whether you want the perfect earrings to compliment a new dress or you just want to add a new accessory to your wardrobe. Making or designing your own earring is simple and fun. Dont be surprise that you will enjoy it so much and turn into your new hobby or home-based business instead.


First of all you will need to decide whether you would like sterling silver, silver-plated, gold or gold plated. Silver is very popular today and easier to match with other accessories or dress so i will suggest sterling silver.


Your next decision is to choose whether you want a post, wire or leverback earrings. The post is basically a small silver or gold ball post earring that has a loop underneath the ball for you to attach your earring dangle to. The wire is like a hook that goes through your ear hole. They have a loop in front and just hang straight in. The leverback are similar to the wire except it closes in the back and is therefore a bit more secure.


Lastly, you will need some simple tools to complete your design. You will need to have a pair of flat nosed plier, round nosed plier and cutting plier. Mostly you already have those tools somewhere around your house. If not you can also purchase them from shop nearby for around $5 each.


Here i would like to show my favourite wire earrings. You can select the similar design from your local jewelry/accessories shop where there is endless varieties available. You can check out your local jewelry/accessories shop or you can do your shopping online. For beginner it is easier to go to the jewelry/accessories shop because you can try out your design before you make your purchase. It is a bit harder to order online if you are a beginner and still not really familiar with the sizes, colours and material. If you do decide to order online then i would suggest http://www.artbeads.com/ because you can usually buy individual jewelry/accessory instead of whole strands, when you are only making earrings, and they also offer free shipping with no minimum purchase. This will help keeping down your costs for just making a single pair of earrings.


We always feel safe to start a business or desgin with very low costs and then we can see what we can do more with it later on.
