You can get the tools cheap and go to Michaels or a bead shop for cheap inventory. This year, I am using chain and crystals. All i need are needle-nose pliers and the materials.
Some bead shops have space and tools for you to use. That's how I learned!

My mom got into -- and out of -- jewelry making for the exact same reasons you gave. Now she just makes them as gifts, too.
