Hello new victim of the bead curse!(rubbing hands with glee) there is no limit to what you can make now that the bug has bit. If you have a craft store near you, go get a bead magazine. barnes and noble has them also. look at them all, but buy one of the bead stringing ones. start off easy. they tell you what supplies you need and what tools (I got all of mine out of my Dad's toolbox). you don't need a beading board quite yet, but a piece of cloth like velvet or a plate, my favorite is a plate. to stop them rolling away on the floor, that's why. then, be patient with yourself and make your project. the whole trick to beading is learning to control your materials and tools. Let us know how it goes!
