Patterns & Projects for Beading & Crafts
Freeform Pendant
Create unique jewelry art! String and wrap special beads in wire to transform them into one-of-a kind designs.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Glass beads
- 20 - 22 gauge wire (available in a rainbow of colors)
- Round nose pliers
- Wire cutters
INSTRUCTIONS:
- String or wrap your beads at random on a piece of wire leaving a 2" tail on each end.
- Bend, twist, loop, or coil your beads & wire into an abstract design.
- Bring tails together and wrap around a pencil into a hanging loop. Wrap ends tightly below loop, and trim off excess wire.
TIPS:
When working with beading wire, remember the higher the gauge, the easier it is to bend (18 gauge wire is harder to work with than 22 gauge).
