INTRODUCTION

A great deal of knowledge and tremendous skills related to BEAD MAKING

TECHNIQUES was imbibed on me during the few weeks of rigorous training I went
through at NIKKI’S BEAD MAKING INSTITUTE in AKURE. An enormous amount
of time, physical and intellectual strength is required to survive at the bead making
institute. Almost all the bead making processes involves a great deal of techniques in
creating a master piece we make use of fishing line, cutter, stopper, needle, tray or flat
plate ,beads, elastic, hook just to mention a few.

As we all know Beads in different designs are jewelries that are trending now, as
many women, including socialites, now prefer them to other types of jewelries. As a
result, many discerning ladies are venturing into the business, churning out adorable
designs and making good returns from the business. A two-month training for this
craft costs about N20, 000. After the training, you can start raking in money,
depending on the type of beads you do. For example, there are beads for N1, 000,
while there are those for even N80, 000 and above. The amount you make depends on
your expertise, creativity, the types of beads you use and your customers.
Bead-making is a very lucrative business and it has a lot of money making potential as
long as you know your art and your target market. Beading does not require a lot of
space or significant technical training, which means you can do it right in the corner
of your home.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I thank God Almighty for his mercy and grace that kept me all through my industrial
training period.
I am greatly indebted to my parents, Mr and Mrs NDUKWU for their financial &
moral support during the course of the program and for his hospitality and fatherly
care towards ensuring that my industrial training was a worthwhile and fulfilling one.
I also thank FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY,AKURE for the
opportunity given to me to participate in the program and also my able and
hardworking instructor Mrs. Adenike impacting a great deal of knowledge about bead
making in me
I also want to thank everyone that contributed to the success of my industrial training;
my industrial supervisors, my colleagues, co-workers and my relatives.

Tools
All you will need to get started after attaining necessary training include:
• Tiger Tail Beading Wires: It has different colors in it and the length is about 10mm
and is sold for about N5000.
• Lobster Claw Clasp: This is a hook used at the tip of finished bead work to hold the
bead to the neck and cost around N2000.
• Bead Design Board: Bead design board has sections for holding beads and long rows
marked with measurement for laying out designs. Cost about N4000
• Wire Cutters: This is used to cut different types of wires, wires for bead making. It
costs around N4000
• Chain Nose Pliers: It has a long narrow nose flat jaws that can grasp and hold wire
without marking it. These costs about N4000
• Tape Measure: This is used to measure the customer’s neck for proper neck line and
you can get it at N800
• Beads: Beads may be found in different colours, shapes, sizes and stuffs. There
about 1000 pieces of beads in a container and Costs around N6000
• Packs for Beads: This is meant for packaging of finished beads for customers and
they come in two ways either nylon pack or carton packs. Nylon packs contains 100
pieces while contains 50 pieces. Cost between N1000 – N3000

Fishing line: It’s has different sizes (0.25mm, 0.30mm, 0.35mm, 0.40mm, 0.50mm,
and 0.60mm) and there are two types of fishing line the elastic and normal fishing
line.

Needle: The type of needle used in making different types of bead design varies in
size (11, 10 and 12).

Stopper: It is used to close beads extension and also to join two fishing lines together
and it comes in various colors e.g.; gold, sliver

TYPES OF BEAD

In bead making I came across different types of beads which you would need to know
as a beginner

 SAND BEAD

 CRYSTAL BEAD

 SQUAROSKY BEAD
DIFFCULTIES ENCOUNTERED
Beading can be a fun, relaxing, and wonderfully creative outlet with lots of possibilities
—if you get started on the right track. To help you move in that direction, we've put
together the following list of common beading Difficulties, along with some tips on
how to avoid them.
 Using the Wrong Beads for a Project: The beadwork may not lie flat or hold
its intended shape, beads may appear to be spaced incorrectly, or your
completed design simply may not look right and you can't figure out why.  For
instance, using a larger bead size than called for in the project instructions can
have a big impact on the thread tension of the project.
ADVICE: With experience, you'll learn to select appropriate substitute beads for the
projects and patterns you encounter. In the meantime, stick to project instructions as
closely as possible, or make substitutions only when the project suggests other types of
beads.
 Beading with Too Much Fishing Line: One thing that annoys beginning
beaders, the most is the thought of having to stop multiple times mid-project to
add new beading fishing line. To avoid this, you might try stitching with an
extra long length of fishing line that will last a long time. Unfortunately, the long
Fishing line has its own set of drawbacks. Another problem with the extra-long
Fishing line is that it makes each stitch require more work, at least initially.
When you pass through a bead in your beadwork, you need to pull the Fishing
line, stop, pull the thread some more, stop, and maybe even pull some more—
just to complete one stitch.
ADVICE: Start out by pulling an arm span of thread at a time. And be patient
about adding new Fishing line; you'll get comfortable with it over time.
 Beading with Incorrect Fishing Line Tension: fishing line tension affects
how your beadwork drapes. When tension is too tight, beadwork curls or
puckers, and when it's too loose, beadwork is floppy and may appear to have
holes. There’s no getting around the fact that it takes practice to achieve perfect
fishing line tension. However, you can expedite the process by picking up some
good habits early on. Most importantly, learn to give the fishing line a gentle tug
after completing every stitch.
ADVICE: Notice how the way you handle your beadwork affects fishing line tension.
Be sure to give the fishing line a few tugs before you begin stitching again, to avoid
leaving a loose area with gaps between beads.
 Splitting Your Beading Fishing Line: fishing line-splitting occurs when you
inadvertently pass your beading needle through the fishing line in your
beadwork. It can cause the last bead stitched to twist, rather than snapping into
place and lying flat. Split fishing line also creates weak spots in your beadwork
and makes it more difficult to tear out beadwork to correct a mistake.
ADVICE: Fortunately, most beads used for bead weaving have large holes that allow
for multiple, clean passes of fishing line. You can avoid splitting fishing line by
positioning your needle as far away as possible from existing fishing line within each
bead.

CONCLUSION
The SIWES programme undergone at Aitek networks systems limited afforded me an indepth
exposure to some of the practical industrial aspects of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
profession. I was opportuned to have known the design and implementation of local area network.
Experience were also garnered in the cable evaluation and running processes.
Besides, knowledge and skills were acquired in computer operations like computer aided designs,
fire-alarm systems, installation of smoke detectors, cable specifications (cat 5e&cat 6 categories) etc
.The programme has been highly enlightening, beneficial, interesting and successful. The objective
of which the scheme was undergone was however achieved.

RECOMMENDATION
Although SIWES undergone did achieve quite a lot of its stated objectives, nevertheless, the
following recommendations are suggested to improve the qualitative context of the programme:
i Participation of private corporate organization to minimize the problem of low funding as recently
complained by the director of ITF.
ii. Participation of various professional, regulatory and statutory bodies such as COREN, NSE in the
supervision of students.
iii Sending students specifically to establishment where the stipulated aims and objectives of SIWES
would be achieved.
iv Payment of befitting student allowance to assist in students finances during the period of training.
