Instructions

  1. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 204903 img 1902

    Cut a long length of black beading wire.

  2. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 205616 img 1903

    Knot one end to the loop at the top of the pendant hoop.

  3. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 205604 img 1904

    Begin wrapping the wire, from front to back and then back up to the left of the wire and down.

  4. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 204906 img 1905

    Continue wrapping the wire, around the pendant, trying to get the loops as equally spaced as possible.

  5. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 204910 img 1907

    Knot at the top again when you reach the top.

  6. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 205813 img 1908

    Gather your seed beads ready for the next step.

  7. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 205803 img 1909

    Begin wrapping the wire around the wire loops in the same way, slipping a seed bead on to the wire in between each loop.

  8. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 205934 img 1916

    Continue until you reach the top of the pendant again and then pick out a star bead.

  9. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210048 img 1917

    Thread the star bead in the middle of your pendant and then tie off and trim the wire.

  10. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210126 img 1922

    Cut a length of necklace cord to fit around your neck twice and pick out some round beads.

  11. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210204 img 1924

    Slide the pendant into the middle of the necklace cord and knot at either side.

  12. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210239 img 1927

    Slip as many beads as you like at either side, making a knot in between each.

  13. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210326 img 1929

    Tie either end of the necklace cord in a knot around the opposite side of the necklace and dab a little glue on the knots to secure.

  14. Small 114245 2f2016 05 12 210519 img 1935

    Once dry, you can slip the knots up and down the necklace to adjust the length.
