http://beadjewelrymaking.com/2011/project/may.html

What you need:

1) Glass seed beads size 11/0 (green or purple for

grapes) some darker green for leaves.
2) Beading string (0.25mm)
3) Jump rings, clamp beads and 9 to 10 loop chain
for each cluster of grapes.
4} Round tip or slander tip Pliers.

Always Remember to pull tight on EVERY

STEP.
Step Cut a piece string around 10 inches
1: long.

 Add five seed beads at the

exact centre of the string,
crisscross the other end
through the last bead
added.
Make sure this beaded ring
is centralized at the centre
of the string.

Step  Continue to:

2:
Add beads on the left (black)
string and crisscross the
other (red) string through the
last bead added.
Continue to pass the black
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through one old bead from
step 1 marked A.

Step  Continue to:

3:
Add beads on the top (red)
string and crisscross the
other (black) string through
the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through one old bead from
step 1 marked A.
Step  Continue to:
4:
Add beads on the right
(black) string and crisscross
the other (red) string through
the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through one old bead from
step 1 marked A.

Step  Continue to:

5:
Add beads on the bottom
(red) string and crisscross
the other (black) string
through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through two old beads from
step 1 and 2 (marked A and
B).

Step  Continue to:

6:
Add beads on the bottom
(black) string and crisscross
the other (red) string through
the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through one old bead from
step 2 marked A.

Step  Continue to:

7:
Add three beads on the left
(red) string and crisscross
the other (black) string
through the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through two old beads from
step 2 and 3 (marked A and
B).
Step  Continue to:
8:
Add beads on the top (black)
string and crisscross the
other (red) string through the
last bead added.
Continue to pass the black
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through two old beads from
step 3 and 4 (marked A and
B).

Step  Continue to:

9:
Add beads on the top (red)
string and crisscross the
other (black) string through
the last bead added.
Continue to pass the red
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through two old beads from
step 4 and 5 (marked A and
B).

Step  Continue to:

10:
Add beads on the right
(black) string and crisscross
the other (red) string through
the last bead added.
Continue to pass the black
string (the one you just used
to add new beads on) down
through three old beads from
step 5, 6 and 7 (marked A, B
and C).

Step  Continue to:

11:
Add one jump ring and one
bead on the bottom (red)
string, crisscross the other
(black) string through both the
new bead and the jump ring.
Continue to pass the black
string through four old beads
marked A, B, C and D.
 Tie off and pass the excess
back through the beaded bead
ball for a more secure piece.
 Now you can make many
beaded grape balls like this (by
repeating step 1 to 11) for your
grape cluster, mine has 8 to 9
beaded grape balls for each
grape cluster, you can always
make more and have a fuller
grape cluster.

Step  Leaves:
12:
Cut a new piece of string
around 7 inches long.
Add four green beads at the
exact center of the string,
crisscross the other string
through the last added bead,
forming a bead circle as
shown. Make sure the beaded
circle is push to the center of
the string.

Step  Continue to:

13:
Add one green bead on each
side of the string (total of two),
add two more new green beads
to crisscross both strings
through.

Step  Continue to:

14:
Take the left red string: add
three new green beads and pass
the same string back up
through where the red string
first exited in this step.
Take the right black string: add
two new green beads and pass
the same string back up
through two beads (one from
the last bead you just added on
 the red string and the other one
old bead from step 13 where
the black string first exited in
this step).

Step  Continue to:

15:
Take the left red string: add
four new green beads and pass
the same string back through
one old bead from step 14
(marked A).

Take the right black string: add

four new green beads and pass
the same string back through
one old bead from step 14
(marked A).

Step  Continue to:

16:
Add two green beads and one crimp
bead on both side of the string
together.
Pass both strings through the top ring
of the chain, loop through and pass
both strings back up the crimp bead
and the two green beads.
Use a round tip or slim tip pliers to
crimp close the crimp bead.
 I made two leaves for each grape
cluster, but it's fine if you just want
one leaf.
If you want one more leaf, repeat
step 12 to 16.
Step  Putting them together:
17:
On the top ring of the chain (where
you would already have the leaves
attached) add a mobile phone hook or
any clasp.

On each loop of the chain, add on at

least one beaded grape balls you
made by using two round or flat tip
pliers to open the jump rings that's
attached to each ball, hook it into the
loop and close.
 You are done!
