If you love making your own jewelry, this list is for you ✨This list is full of beads, jewelry-making supplies, tools, and little extras I keep reaching for again and again.

Great loom for bracelet makers who want comfort and flexibility. The adjustable, angled design is easier on your hands and eyes, and it works well for both beginners and more detailed loom projects.

This is my go-to jewelry glue for small, precise fixes. The fine tip makes it easy to control, it dries clear, and it holds without being messy—perfect for knots, end caps, and delicate details. A little goes a long way. I've had the same tube for over 8 years and it's still almost full. Well worth the money.
