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."

"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!"

Description


Evergreen Blossum Necklace
 
I'm a big leather, silver and gunmetal girl, so I don't work with antique brass very often. However when I saw this Antique Brass Pewter Heart Pendant, Green Enamel, 50mm, I was very inspired to pair it with these gorgeous deep green pearls.  Green is my favorite color!

Kelly McCoy, Auntie’s Beads Designer 

 
Materials: 
Glass Pearl 10mm Bead Strand, Evergreen - 1 strand
 

Instructions:
  1. Choose a length for your necklace (mine is 20 inches).  Find the center link, keeping in mind we want to leave a 3 link tail on one end.  Use your nipper tool to snip the chain links off either side of your center chain link.
  2. Place a pearl with a bead cap on either side of it onto an eyepin.  Carefully use your pliers to open the eye of the pin and gently close it around the center chain link.  On the other end of the pin, use your wire looping pliers to make a small loop.  Attach this end to the next chain link.  Repeat this process for the other side of the necklace.
  3. On each side, skip two chain links and then add another bead capped pearl the same way.  Repeat this one more time.
  4. Use your pliers to carefully open a twist jump ring and attach one end of your clasp to the end of your chain. I recommend using two jump rings for security and because it looks cute.  Repeat this process on the other side, remembering to account for the three link tail.
  5. On the end of the tail, use headpins and your wirelooping pliers to dangle three bead capped pearls.
  6. To attach your pendant, open two twist jump rings with your pliers and attach them to the bail.  Then attach two more to those jump rings as well as the center link.  Dangle a bead capped pearl from the center link on the left side of the pendant using a headpin and your wirelooping pliers.
  7. Create a chain of jump rings down the back of your pendant by simply attaching them (two at a time as we have been) to one another, begining at the bail.  After you  have created four links of "chain," dangle three bead capped pearls from the bottom link using headpins and wirelooping pliers.

Love it!
I am not usually a necklace girl, I generally prefer bracelets and earrings. But when I saw this design I had to make it! It is gorgeous!! The green(my favorite color to wear)beads are lovely and they pair up well with the antique brass. I love it!

my first project: well done!
This was my first project: 1)from Auntie's Beads,2)ever done, and 3)making/wearing jewelry with bead this large! The project took about 5-6 hours but I went "word by word" - very slowly! This was going to be a Christmas present but I am wearing it today :0) I love the earrings: longer and much more "saucy" than what I usually wear! FUN!
