I ordered a bunch of supplies online and they won't arrive till early next month and right now I want to get some cheap thread, yarn, beads, etc., and practice till my packages arrive.

Do you have any tips or something different I can try for beading/jewelry?

I realise this is an old topic which I expect may be closed, but my twin sister makes the most exquisite jewellery. Sitting beside me she's suggested that you learn how to silver-solder, ie. (she says) "the metallurgy of some carat gold jewellery alloys". Gold soldering though expensive, is a very exacting art, but essential if you are artistic in designing jewellery from scratch. Learn to solder, but learn the technical details of such and any jewellery you later produce will look extremely impressive!
