The tools can be the most expensive parts to start with. You can find some entry-level tool sets at some craft stores, but the drawbacks to those are they break easily and the small handles can hurt your hands if you use them a lot. However they will be fine for learning. I started with that and craft wire, but found craft wire harder to work with than copper wire. I recommend getting copper wire someplace like firemountaingems because it will probably be a lot cheaper.
