7 Best Jewellery Making Kits to Help You Sparkle

There’s nothing more fun and rewarding than accessorising with DIY jewellery making kits for adults! With pliers, beads and jump rings at the ready, you can learn how to make earrings, bracelets and other accessories all from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re looking to add style to your wardrobe with boho-style drop earrings or craft your own sustainable jewellery using recycled materials—these jewellery kits are a great way to get started with craft in 2024. When you have the time and the right equipment, as well as a guiding hand to show you - jewellery making is one of the most rewarding arts and crafts kits available. 

Why jewellery making is great for your wellbeing

If you’re looking for fun things to do at home or new creative hobbies to try, our jewellery making starter kits for adults could be perfect for you. There are a variety of options available for you, ranging from small easy-to-learn rainy day activities, all the way through to more in-depth craft kits for adults looking to sink their teeth into something substantial. Making the most out of an adult jewellery making kit is certainly the latter. 

Bear in mind, however, that has less to do with the required skill level and more to do with how addictive it is. Much like many of our arts and craft kits and live classes online, our jewellery craft kits do a fantastic job of boosting your mood and increasing positivity. This is due to the levels of focus required to get the most out of this fun indoor activity, evolving the craft into a form of mindful movement meditation. 

Learning jewellery making is more than just an addition to your list of fun indoor activities for adults. It’s been found to greatly improve cognitive function in older individuals and give children a head start on their developmental behaviour and problem-solving skills. Learning a new skill that encompasses both motor function, problem-solving and creativity has been found to produce white matter in the brain. This, in turn, opens up new neural pathways that enable the brain to effectively fight off degenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Learning how to make earrings takes a little more time and effort than simply crafting shapes out of polymer clay, but the rewards that accompany it are worth it all. 

Start your creative journey with these DIY kits

Although a make your own jewellery kit requires a little bit more of your time and effort than a standard craft box, many of the skills you learn are transferrable to different artistic disciplines. For instance, learning how to make polymer clay jewellery will not only give you a fundamental understanding of how to design and put together jewellery but will also show you several basic hand building techniques when it comes to shaping and forming clay. 

This becomes even more useful should you ever want to grow your pottery skills. Another example is if you’re learning how to make bracelets from home, several of our live classes online offer you the opportunity to do this using upcycled materials and resources, allowing you to make more eco-conscious choices when it comes to designing craft activities when looking for things to do at home.
