Yes, to make jewelry you need a couple kinds of minature pliers. There are a lot of options for the tools, but don't think you need every one of them, for it only really takes a couple if you just want to make one style. For making earrings it takes findings such as fish hook wires and other styles, and also little pins shaped like nails that are found with all of the other needed tools in the jewelry making section. Bracelets take wire, crimp beads or crimp tubes, and also require tools. Necklaces take pretty much the same stuff used to make bracelets. With all of this, you can also make things like key chains, too. And, Joann Fabrics has the best quality in the findings, and also runs sales a lot. They even offer jewelry making classes that teach you all of the basics on how to make everything.
(If you're wondering how I know all of this, it is because I make jewelry myself.)
And, if you want to make origami as a prize, if you can figure out how to make a peacock from the instructions, it would be pretty rare and neat. I also do oragami, and I have done a lot, but have never conquered the peacock. It may look easy, but it isn't.
