Writing Beading Instructions for Others

If you are an accomplished bead crafter, you may want to consider writing beading instructions for others who are just learning. Especially if you have created your own designs, you probably have a lot to offer for others who are beginning bead crafters and are not sure where to start. Writing instructions for beginning bead crafters can make you some extra money, and can even lead to holding beading classes in your home or at craft or bead stores.

First, sit down and make an outline of how you would like your beading instructions to look, and what you would like them to say. After you’ve made your outline, start with a rough draft. Write the draft once before you start making corrections. After you’ve written it, you can then read it through again and start making any changes that you deem necessary. More than likely you will make a first, second, third, and even fourth draft before you are satisfied with the finished product, but this is perfectly normal.

Once you think that you have a good finished product, have a friend or family member look it over and critique it for you. Have the person tell you if it would help him or her learn to be a good bead crafter. Finally, if you are satisfied with the beading instructions that you have written, start making the rounds of craft or bead stores to see if they would like to purchase copies of the instructions, or you could even sell them on the Internet.
