Hi Cat, I have taught myself to create necklaces using YouTube. My favorite "teacher" is Gina's Gems Creations. There are a lot more to choose from. You can purchase beads at Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics. You can make a very simple necklace or a very difficult necklace. They also teach how to make bracelets and earrings. Hope this helps.
