Purple is my favorite color so when I found these ombre beads at AC Moore I couldn’t wait to get home and make something out of them.
All you need to make your own ombre earrings are:
22 teardrop beads in 3 – 4 different colors
chain
jump rings
earring hooks
round nose pliers
headpins or wire
Step 1: Add jump rings to each bead. Use headpins to create loops on larger beads.
Step 2: Separate your chain so you have two pieces with 5 links.
Step 3: Add earring hooks to one end of the chain
Step 4: Add two light beads to the first link of the chain right under the earring hook. Add two more light beads to the second link.
Step 5: Continue adding two beads to each link until you have your desired length. Then add the darkest bead to the last link (you will have 3 beads on the last link).
Step 6: Put on your new earrings and admire yourself in the mirror (because that is what you will want to do).

So much so that I’ve started a business with my Awareness Jewelry line. I started it because my fiance suffers from a debilitating disease called Gastroparesis.

I like to get jewelry and fix it up so it is more my style. Usually I get cheap stuff for $1 or $2 and then take the feathers or crazy things off them to make them more my style.

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back
up. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

Fractional silver bullion bars says
Gold dealers are the most popular ones among dealers of bullion. The large and varied bullion coins can be also be considered a brand.
I do not have the cash assets to buy the amount of silver bullion that I feel I need
for insurance and asset preservation all at once,
or even over the course of six months.
