Beaded Pendants
Beaded pendants are more popular than ever. When
you create a beautiful necklace, a pendant is one of the best ways to
create a unique focal point.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Glass beads
-
Headpin
or Eyepin
-
Jump ring
- Round nose pliers
- Wire cutters
INSTRUCTIONS:
- String selected
beads on the headpin or eyepin (eyepins have a prelooped end for
connecting to other jewelry components).
- Keep about 1/3"
of wire, cutting off any extra.
- Use round nose
pliers to grasp the wire just above the beads, and bend sharply away
from you.
- Now use the
round nose pliers to grasp the tip of the wire, and turn the pliers half
a turn to begin the loop. Release the pliers and turn them back a
half turn to the position where you started the loop. Now finish
the loop with another half turn, closing loop securely down close to the
beads.
-
Attach a jump ring to this loop to slide pendant onto your favorite
chain.
