Step 1

Choose a pattern or book for the recipient's level of experience, personality, style or age.
Step 2

Use the pattern instructions or list of suggested tools to create your kit.
Step 3

Purchase the tools, jewelry hardware and materials as well as extra necklace clasps, wire, pin backs and any small, easily broken pieces.
