ive been making hemp jewelry for a long time,
and im wanting to move on to other stuff, to start selling to make money.
do you all know anything?
or just making anything that i could sell, that most people wouldnt find.
i also want to know if anyone knows how to make beads.
or where i could buy a bunch of pendants for cheap
i don’t know but their interesting
If you’re interested in making beads and jewelry-type stuff with polymer clay, my website could help a lot (it’s a polymer clay “encyclopedia” of techniques, lessons, variations, tips, etc.).
Polymer clay can have patterns, images, and impressions, look like metal/jade/pearl/wood/stone/ivory/etc/etc –and be formed into lots of things besides jewelry as well.
If you’re interested in checking out those possibilities, go to the Table of Contents page at the site, then browse all the way down to see all the items and techniques that are covered there –for jewelry, pay special attention to the 5-6 jewelry categories, although techniques for the patterns and surface effects on the beads/etc will be discussed on their own separate pages at the site:

(…when you’ve found any page you want to read, go to that page by clicking on its name inside the alphabetical navigation bar on the left).
HTH, and have fun (polymer clay is practically endless in it’s looks and what can be made with it or can be combined with it),
