derma clinics.
Here are some of the tips to consider in deciding what type of business
to get into:
• Start with a hobby or interest.
• Produce something that you can offer or sell to your friends and
schoolmates.
• Products that are always in demand are food items.
• Start small before you think of producing bigger quantities.
• Do some research and investigation.
• Observe people and their food preferences.
• Check existing products in the local market.

Things to remember when putting up a business:

• Keep your cost down while maintaining the quality of your
product.
• Make sure to canvass and find out where you can get your
materials and supplies in the best price available.
• Purchase ingredients in a store or market that sells fresh
produce.

Remember these: Source: Ma.Ninfa Rosel

1. Clean your hands, tools and production area before doing the
project.
2. Always ask an adult to help you when you encounter difficulty in
cutting wires.
3. Be careful with cutting pliers.
Procedure:
1. Beading
a. Cut out a long piece of memory wire or beading thread. It's better
to take a long piece of wire so that you can cut off the extra-long
piece at the end. But it would be hard to add more wire in the
middle of crafting the bracelet.
b. First of all thread 3 or 4 beads into the wire and place them in
the center of the wire.
c. Thread the 4th or fifth bead from both sides and pull the wire to
bring the beads together.
d. The wire is now divided into two parts. Insert 2 or 3 beads into
both parts and thread any one bead from both sides like we did
previously.
e. Continue to thread the beads into the wire similarly.

 2. Measuring and Securing
a. Use a ruler to measure if the beaded wire has reached the
required length for the bracelet.
b. If so, then insert the remaining wires into the last few beads
randomly. This will secure the beading. Cut off extra wire if
needed.

3. Attaching Closure
a. You can attach any kind of closure, but it’s better to use lobster-
claw, spring-ring, S-hook, hook and eye closures for bracelets.
b. Attach a lobster-claw, spring-ring or hook on one side and attach
a small piece of chain at the other end of the bracelet.
