Friendship bracelets are back, and one bead kit is never the whole story. You run out of string. The beads end up in the carpet. Somebody wants to make earrings now.

Here is the starter set that covers all of it.

1. A Bead Spinner for Clay Bead Bracelets

Threading flat clay beads one at a time is slow. A spinner loads the string for you, which is the difference between one bracelet and ten.

The pick: The ETUDAW Electric Clay Bead Spinner Kit. It's rechargeable, has adjustable speed and two needles, and comes as a beginner clay bead kit.

Before You Start

• Small beads are a choking hazard. Keep them away from little siblings.

• Pre-stretch the string. A gentle pull before you bead helps bracelets keep their shape.

• Read the earring kit directions. A grown-up handles anything that needs heat.
