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

"... I'm never disappointed in the quality of your merchandise, the price points of your merchandise, the speed at which you deliver, the superior packaging materials and the little surprises you always include. Thank you for quality products and experiences."
- 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

Regal Ruby Earrings

I have created these bordered beads several times but never have I loved them as much as I do in these earrings. The topaz luster seed beads and Light Siam crystals make these earrings look like shining rubies adorning your ears.

Shanna Steele, Auntie’s Beads Designer

Instructions:


1. Cut a piece of Fireline measuring about 18 inches. Thread your needle. String 6 seed beads on your thread, leaving yourself about a 5-6 inch tail.

2. Run your needle through the center of an 8mm round crystal, then back through the 6 seed beads just strung. Run your needle and thread back through the 8mm bead one more time. Your working thread (the one with the needle) should now be meeting up with the tail. Tie a square knot.

3. Run your thread back through the 8mm bead. Pick up 6 more seed beads. Run the needle and thread back through the 8mm bead.

4. Run your needle and thread through the 6 seed beads just added, then up through the 8mm bead.

5. Begin tying half hitch knots around the left side of the bead. Tie one between the hole of the bead and the place where the 6 seed beads are. Then tie a couple more between the 6 seed beads.

6. Take your needle and thread through the 8mm bead and then begin tying half hitch knots around the right side of your work.

7. Run your needle and thread through the 8mm bead one more time. Cut your tail and your working thread. If you would like, you can apply a small amount of glue to secure your work.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 using 5 seed beads and your 8mm crystal bicone.

9. On a headpin, pick up the following: a seed bead, your bordered 8mm round, a seed bead, a 4mm bicone, a seed bead, your bordered 8mm bicone, and a seed bead. Make a loop. Wrap the wire and trim the excess.

10. Use your pliers to open the loop on the ear wire. Attach it to the loop made in step 9. Close the loop.
