Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut a piece of jewelry wire about 18-24 inches long.
2. Use a bead stopper or a small piece of tape at one end to prevent beads from sliding off.
3. Thread your chosen beads onto the wire in the desired arrangement.
4. Leave about 3 inches of wire on each end for wrapping.
5. Using round-nose pliers, create a small loop at one end by bending the wire tightly.
6. Carefully wrap the excess wire around the base of the loop 2-3 times to secure the beads.
7. Repeat the loop and wrapping on the other end of the wire.
8. Adjust the beads so they are centered and the wire wraps are neat.
9. Attach jump rings to the loops if desired, then connect the pendant to your chain or leather cord.
10. Add a clasp to the ends of the chain or cord using jump rings.
11. Check all connections for security, adjust as needed, and your pendant necklace is ready to wear!
