How to Start a Business Doing Jewelry Making Parties

Starting a business can be rewarding and also a lot of hard work. If you find something you love to do it makes it so much easier. If you love making jewelry and love getting together with friends you can start a Jewelry Making Party business.

A jewelry making party is where a bunch of friends get together to make jewelry. You will bring all the supplies and teach everyone how to do it. They then pay you for the supplies they used.

This article will explain what you need for your business, how to run it and how to get customers. Business laws vary from location to location. You will need to get a business license and find out how to handle sales tax where you live. I won't discuss these things specifically, there are a lot of resource available online.

What you need. You will need jewelry making supplies. You don't have to do everything. Start small. Bracelets are a great place to start. Everyone likes making bracelets and the supplies are basic and they are easy to learn how to do. You will need clasps, stringing material (wire), beads, crimp beads, crimper (or needle nose pliers) and wire cutters. In the future you may decide to do parties with more complex jewelry. When you get to this point you can offer beginner and advanced classes.

The supplies you will need for your business are basic no matter what type of jewelry you choose to do. You will need craft boxes to separate your beads. Providing each guest with an ice cube tray will give them something to put the beads they are working with in. I also like handing each person a washcloth to work on. It will keep beads from rolling on a table. You will also need a calculator, a pen and a small notepad or a receipt pad for calculating each customer's total bill. You may also want business cards but they aren't necessary when you are first getting started.
