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!
- Tiana from High Point, NC

What's in your Heart? Necklace

Lately my life has been a bit of a mess.  So when it was time to put together a project of the week, I was really drawn to the message beads because each one has a positive word on it.  I chose "dream."  I would like to pose a question to everyone as you're deciding which message bead is right for your necklace: what's in your heart right now?  Faith?  HopeJoy?  Maybe you just need to be reminded to live!
 
Kelly McCoy, Auntie’s Beads Designer 
 
Materials: 
A Sterling Silver Message Bead - 1pc 
Red Jade Heart Pendant, 30 x 34mm - 1pc 

Instructions:
  1. Fold your suede in half so it's doubled. Decide how long you want your necklace to be, add an inch (for finishing the suede) and trim using your nipper tool.  The necklace pictured is 14 inches.
  2. Gently open your bail using your chain nose pliers and then carefully squeeze it shut around the front to back hole in your heart pendant. 
  3. Put a small drop of hypo cement on your message bead.  Give it 20 seconds to get tacky and then carefully position it on your pendant (I wouldn't try to wear the piece for 24 hours but if you are careful you can continue putting the necklace together as it dries if you wait maybe 15 minutes).
  4. String your pendant with a silver plated tube on either side of it onto your suede.
  5. Use your tweezers to attach a split ring to the circle and the stick of your toggle.
  6. To finish the suede, string it through one of the split rings with a piece of the toggle hanging from it, and then fold it over, pressing it tightly against itself.  This holds the split ring/toggle in place.  Take some artistic wire, maybe a 5 inch piece, and begin tightly wrapping around the wire to keep it folded over.  If you don't have 22 gauge, 24 gauge works well also and 20 gauge, while a little more difficult to wrap, also works.
