Take it easy!

Our first piece of advice? Don’t be afraid to start small. Buy a basic kit of jewelry components off Amazon and choose a type of jewelry that is made out of less than 3 parts. It could be simple earrings or a stone pendant.

Try to make one piece and if it goes well, challenge yourself to complete a couple more of these projects within a short time frame.

That way, you’ll get the hang of the techniques involved and be able to move on to more complicated projects with confidence.

Ready to get started? Here are five easy DIY jewelry projects for beginners:
