Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut a 6-inch piece of 20 gauge wire using wire cutters.
2. Thread your chosen beads onto the center of the wire.
3. Using round-nose pliers, create a small loop at one end of the wire to secure the beads.
4. Position the beads near the loop, then wrap the remaining wire around the beads to hold them in place, creating a neat wire cage.
5. Make a loop at the other end of the wire to complete the pendant.
6. Use flat-nose pliers to tuck in any sharp wire ends for safety.
7. Attach the finished pendant to the chain necklace by opening the chain link or using a jump ring.
8. Optional: Apply a small drop of jewelry glue on wire wraps for added security.
9. Adjust the pendant position and close any open links securely.
10. Your wire wrapped pendant necklace is now ready to wear or gift.
