I am planning to make my hobby making beaded accessories as a business. I enjoy making necklaces, bracelets, beaded shirts, earrings. Can you give me advice/tips on this. Would really appreciate it.

Your first step is to get noticed. Maybe you can start at local church events. Pass out flyers etc. Get a feel of how people are receiving your product, do they like it or not. Go to local fairs, take advantage of any event that would help expose you to the public. Pass the word around by word of mouth. Get a website, market your product. These are just a few ideas to get you thinking and get you started. Good luck

Yeah, your suggestions are good. I can have my friends and sister market my accessories for me. I was planning to make my own website for my beads. But now, I was just looking for some designs that I can make for starters.

I used years ago to bead headbands for a small company,they were good sellers,we used to bead them in many different designs and always by hand,the beading needles are wierd to handle lol but you soon get used to them,it may just be an idea towards your new enterprise,to bead a few hair bands and see if they sell,but the beading as you will know only too well is very intricate and can take a lot of time.

making beaded hair bands seems to be a good idea. I'll take note of it. Thanks for your suggestion.
