Who doesn't love tools? As you progress in your jewelry making journey, you will surely find favorite tools and also happen upon tools that you never knew existed yet now love! As we start adding and collecting tools, it can become a little pricey. That is why I wanted to write this blog showcasing my 5 favorite jewelry making tools for under $10! I have personally used each and every one of these tools and can attest to how great they are. 

Please note that there are lots of really good chain nose and round nose pliers under $10 but I am not listing them here, instead I am listing some of the more unique and unexpected tools that are under $10. 

If you are a seed beader then this little scoop is a must! It makes sorting and cleaning up seed beads so easy. The tapered end fits nicely into bead tubes for easy pouring.


If you like obtaining a vintage look, the Vintaj relief block is perfect for creating weathered finishes as well as exposing brighter brass underneath an antique brass plating. It's very easy to use and you get that "wow" affect when using it. 

If you have ever tried your hand at metal stamping, you know it can be very challenging to stamp a straight line. This tape is great and makes it very easy to write words and paragraphs with metal stamps. 

Whether making strung bracelets or stretch bracelets, a bead stopper is such a great tool that prevents so much frustration! It keeps your beads from falling off your stringing material and is easily removable so you don't have to create an unnecessary knot. 

If you work with a lot of wire, the Wire Whacker is great for quickly flattening and work hardening it. It's so simple to use and is an easy alternative to hammers and bench blocks. 

Besides these tools, we have hundreds of others for all different types of jewelry making. Check out the full selection in our Jewlery Making Tools category here!
