How you set up your jewelry making area affects not only your safety, comfort, and stress level but also the efficiency of your jewelry making. If you have a workspace which is well planned out then you will no doubt be far more creative and work more quickly. Anyone who designs and builds their own jewelry can tell you that the more efficient you work, the more creative you will be and the more spare time you will have available to work on other projects. Take some time to think about your jewelry making workspace and how it is organized.

Having a plan for your workspace and what you want to do in it makes your life as a craftperson so much easier. Most problems happen because everything from tools and materials are positioned poorly or cluttered. Want you want to do is be smart in how you set up where you will be creating everything. Set aside some time to analyze what you do and you can better improve where you work. Here are just a few tips and examples on how to set up your jewelry making work area:

Try to find a place in your home free of clutter and junk. Somewhere that you can set up a small working table. A basement, spare room or garage will all work great to fit your needs. Clean it all up and you can start creating your work area.

You're going to need a table to work on. It doesn't matter if it's new or used but used is usually your best option since you can normally find a nice one for cheap. The table doesn't need to huge, but big enough that you can place all of your tools and materials on freely. It is a good idea to take a measurement of your work space before you go shopping for a table. The last thing you want is a table that won't fit.

Now that you found a table to work on set it up in the room you picked. Begin organizing everything you will be using on the table such as the bead containers and storage units. Small plastic baskets work great as extra storage for your beading supplies and look nice too. All of these things should be placed all around your new table.

Make sure your workspace has adequate lighting in the room. Beading requires a lot of light so you don't strain your eyes too much. If your room won't allow you to add more light than you want, pick out a nice lamp that can be set up on the table but not in your way.

Just because this is your workstation doesn't mean it needs to be drab and boring. Decorate it up a little bit with some personalized touched of some of your favorite inspirations. Magazines or pictures work well too.

You'll be doing a lot of sitting as you bead, so be sure to find a nice comfortable chair for your behind. The chair should be soft enough to be comfy but also sturdy that your back isn't sore at the end of the day. Some beaders also use foot props too so keep that in mind too.
