What You're Saying:
"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
I so much appreciate the fast service and the fast shipping when I order from Aunties's Beads! Absolutely love
Beader's Advantage!
- Shelby from Oregon
I love Auntie's Beads! I feel as though I am doing business with friends; I know you care about what we think & that
is so important to me! Great service, quick delivery & most of all, I LOVE Karla Kam! Karla is great and the videos
are so clear and helpful! Love "our" bead chat group! Great support and encouragement! You're the best!
- Patsy from Arizona
Being rather new to jewelry making I am eager to learn. Auntie's Beads not only has the supplies I will need but
also the knowledge to help. My Beader's Advantage Membership will allow me to explore this new world without
going broke!!!
- Pam from Huron, Ohio
Good products at a good price...beads always "as advertised" and arrive on time.
- Richard from Tyler, Texas
I had never ordered from Auntie's Beads until Last Dec. 2011. I placed an order, and within a couple of days, it was
in my mailbox. WOW!! that is Customer Service. I had ordered from other companies, and my wait time was 5-7
days. I will be placing all my orders from Auntie's Beads.
- Teri from Indianapolis
I am a fairly new beader. I would like to commend you all on your superior service. You have all the items that I need
at a great price and they are always correct when they arrive. My products arrive pretty quickly. Just awesome!

Make Your Own French Ear Wires
French Hook Ear Wires (Instructions)
Learn How to create your very own handmade french hook ear wires. And don’t forget to check back soon to view the full instructions for the “Everyday Elegance” earrings. You’ll get to use the french wires you create from this post! These earrings were created by Lisa Hughes Iversen of Angel Whispers Jewelry.
- Using a flush cutter, cut a 2″ length of 22 wire. If using a headpin instead of wire, simply cut the head off the pin. File if needed.
- Using a round nose pliers and holding it at the very tip of the wire, roll the pliers away from you, making a very small loop, Turn the wire over so the loop is facing up and place the pliers above the completed loop ( about 1/4″ up the shaft of the pliers) with your thumb, push the wire under the pliers until it meets up with the small loop.
- Using an ink pen, or other small cylinder shape, hold the wire against the pen with your thumb, with the edge of the loop snug against your thumb. Using your other hand, bend the long end of the wire around the barrel of the pen.
- Repeat steps 1-3 with the second wire.
- Compare the ear wires when finished and make adjustments by bending, or by putting the wires back over the pen together and pulling on the wire.
- Using a flat nose pliers, hold the very end of the ear wire and make a slight bend by tilting the pliers toward you.
- If available, place ear wires on a steel block or anvil and tap lightly with a chasing hammer to harden.
- Open larger loop slightly and slip earring on by sliding it up from the end to the loop area. Close loop and repeat with second earring.
Tools & Materials Needed:
22 gauge wire or 2 inch sterling silver head pins Flat Nose Pliers Round Nose Pliers Chain Nose Pliers Flush cutter Steel block or anvil Chasing Hammer
