Hi there! Here's a good place to get some simple starter kits: http://www.eebeads.com/_kits.htm I started out ordering from them because they have mainly just the basic beads, findings, and supplies. Then, as you decide what kind of jewelry you most enjoy making, you can shop from the more specialized sites, or even your local bead store! (Although they can be rather expensive!) Here's another site that has more advanced kits, a few simple stringing kits and even some stringing kits that require you do a small bit of the seed bead stitches: http://www.lindarichmond.com/Learn_To_Bead.html Also, you might want to go to your local book store, or really anywhere that has a good variety of magazines, and get the Stringing Magazine. It is full of simple (yet very cool!) stringing projects. They also list where to get the beads and supplies used! I hope this helps!
