"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!"

Grape Expectations Earrings

I love copper, but I always seem to make my copper pieces monochromatic. While wearing a purple shirt and a copper/gold toned bracelet, I had an “aha!” moment and decided amethyst and copper would be gorgeous together. I made the bracelet first and then used extra chain to make a versatile pair of earrings.

Shanna Steele, Auntie’s Beads Designer

Instructions:


1. Cut a piece of chain that has a large round, small round, and oval.

2. On a headpin, pick up a bead cap, bicone, and bead cap. Make sure your bead caps are cupping the bicone.

3. Make a loop. Attach the loop to the oval link on the chain. Wrap the wire and trim the excess.

4. Open the loop on the ear wire. Attach it to the large round link. Close the loop.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to complete the other earring.

Customer Reviews
Simple, yet elegant
I wanted to make something with copper, and I was running out of ideas. Then I came across this design. I bought the items, and made it. It is beautiful, and nice for the spring. It is simple enough for daily use.
