Matched Sets: The upshot of these beadwork projects is that the field is fairly less crowded and therefore, less difficult to enter than other fields. It's one thing to whip out a pair of earrings, but to create a matching outfit is quite an undertaking. Definitely an advanced task, even if the patterns are relatively simple. On the plus side, you can usually charge a premium for matched sets, but this is balanced by the fact that they are slower to produce. If you wish to create enough for sustainable profits, it is essential that you streamline processes and keep the designs simple, yet original.
