What You're Saying:

"I have been a Beader's Advantage Member for years now and I love it. I send an order about once a week and sometimes more but I NEVER shop for beads elsewhere. Aunties Beads is the best I have ever found and I love the speed on shipping, quality of beads and beading supplies and the ordering accuracy on my orders that Aunties Beads provides. Never a day goes by without checking out the Aunties Beads website. The Advantage program cannot be beat."
- Joy from Shelby, Iowa

- Diana from Central Ohio

"I couldn't believe how fast my order came. I was very pleased with everything I ordered and I definitely will be ordering alot more. Love the videos, they're alot of fun and helpful. The website is awesome! Thank You!"
- Chris from Missouri

"I love ordering through auntiesbeads.com! I live in a town where the closest thing to a bead store (hobby lobby) is 30 minutes away and the quality and service aren't up to par. With your website I can get most everything I need in a very short period of time and with anything that isn't available I can sign up for emails to let me know when they become available. Thank you for being my go-to bead supplier!"
- Michelle via mobile

Butterfly Rain Necklace
 
This pretty necklace is very fun to make.  It makes a great gift!

Kelly McCoy, Auntie’s Beads Designer 

 
Materials: 
Gunmetal filigree butterfly wings, 35 x 40mm - 1pc
 

Instructions:
  1. Choose a length for your necklace (mine is 18 inches) and trim.  Find the center link and snip in half using your nipper tool. 
  2. Use your chain nose pliers to open jump rings and connect them to one another.  You need six little chains of twelve- three for each side of the butterfly.  Connect the chains to the holes in the butterfly as shown in the photo.
  3. To add crystal to your jump ring chains, place a crystal on an eye pin and use your wire looping pliers to make a loop on the other end.  Then insert this using your chain nose pliers between jump rings.  I placed a crystal four jump rings down, six jump rings down and eight jump rings down on each side (starting from the top).
  4. Use head pins and wire looping pliers to dangle crystals from the ends of all six jump ring chains.
  5. Place a crystal on a headpin.  Stick it through the top hole in the center of your butterfly from top to bottom.  Then bend it (1) up (from the back, so we're in front of the pendant again), (2) down, flat, over and to the right of the crystal, (3) up the back of the butterfly, flat,  and (4) down, flat, and to the left of the crystal.  It should then fold neatly to the bottom left of the butterfly.  Attach your pendant to your chain with jump rings.
  6. On the left side of your necklace, two chain links up, add a crystal using an eyepin and your wire looping pliers.  Eleven links up from that, add another. On the right, add a crystal six links up from the pendant.  Add  your clasp with jumps and dangle a couple of crystals from the back with headpins for a finishing touch.
