I've been wanting to make a dragonfly jewelry for a while. I suddenly came up with this idea of making a dragonfly pendant last week so I made one right away :) I really liked how the pendant turned out and couldn't wait to share the tutorial ^_^

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Craft Wire
  • Jewellery Pliers
  • Bead
  • 6 Paper And Pencil(S)

Steps (9 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Measure and cut 24 inches of craft wire. You can take more if you want to, for making a bigger dragonfly pendant. I made 3 cm tall dragonfly using 24 inches craft wire.

  2. 2

    Bend the wire into half,
    Tighten the bend using a flat nose plier.

  3. 3

    Place the bent wire on the template and carefully bend the wire along the body part of the dragonfly.

  4. 4

    Make the bottom right wing first, by bending the wire along the bottom right wing of the template.
    Then make the bottom left, top right and top left wings accordingly.
    Simply bend the wire along the outlines of the dragonfly template

  5. 5

    Now make the bottom left, top right and top left wings accordingly.

    Simply bend the wire along the outlines of the dragonfly template.

  6. 6

    Coil the wire around the part where all the wings join.
    I coiled that part 2 times.

  7. 7

    Measure and keep 2.5 cm of of craft wire and cut off the rest.
    Insert a bead into both wires.

  8. 8

    Use looping plier to make a small loop on the wire and circle the rest of the wire around that loop to make swirly pattern.
    Do the same for both wires.

  9. 9

    attach jump ring with any one of the swirly parts.
