Make a nice pair of Ear wires

Another Great Jewelry Tutorial site!

Check out this great tutorial site called JewelryLessons.com.
There are many FREE tutorials on making jewelry and how to's! 
Tutorials range from only $1 to $20.

She has a great cart system, but watch because it only takes 20 items. The cart tells you when you have something inside the cart, right on the items page. It also tells you if you already "purchased" the item, highlighting it as being in your download area. You will never purchase the same item two times!


I also like the feature where you can add an item to your "favorites" to go back to later. The cart system even tells you, in your favorites area, that an item is in your downloaded area.


When you create an account you can upload a banner, your avatar and you get a gallery to post to. Check it out, you can even request a tutorial! And if you write jewelry tutorials you can sell them here (upon approval).
