I don’t know about you, but if I want to learn something, I scour the Internet for free videos and tutorials. Here is a collection of 10 free jewelry making videos and tutorials that I have enjoyed being inspired by.


1.  How to Solder

I found this free tutorial (with some video) on Instructables.com to be very well done. Since I don’t solder regularly, I have to keep these reminders handy to kindly calm my “how do I do that again” anxiety.

8. How to Make Landscape Jasper-Faux Stone with Polymer Clay

Tina Holden has this great tutorial on how to make faux Jasper looking stones on Polymer Clay Smoosher’s blog. I like to look at polymer tutorials because it gives me ideas on things to create with other types of clay.

I hope that you can pour yourself a cup a tea, block out an hour or so, and take some time to be inspired and educated. Nothing like a little information to get those ideas flowing!

Have fun creating! Becky
