How To Make: Dangle Crackle Pendant
Materials: 8 inches of 20 gauge copper wire, 8 inches of 28 gauge copper wire, cut into 2 pieces - for attaching beads to the pendant,
3 head pins - size around 3 inches long (or shorter), 1 crackle bead - size 12 mm, 3 crackle beads - size 8mm, 4 crackle beads - size 6 mm, 3 glass beads - size 4 mm
Tools: Round Nose Pliers, Wire Cutters
Step 1: Bend wire in the middle to create small drop shape
Step 2: Create two small loops
Step 3: Shape wire around the bead (size 12mm) as shown in the photo
Step 4: Wrap wire around the base wire in order to close the base shape, then trim it
Step 5: Create a hanging loop by shaping it with your pliers. You can also wrap the ending of wire around the base of the loop to create closed shape (it depends on the length of the wire you work with)
Step 6: Wrap thin wire around the base, then insert a bead and again wrap wire around the base. Trim wire which is left. Repeat this step with second crackle bead
Step 7: Insert beads onto pin, create the hook shape and put it through the loop as shown in the photo
Step 8: Close the loop by trimming the pin and bending it to the bead in order to create closed loop, or by wrapping it around itself. Repeat this step with the rest of the beads and pins
Step 9: Attach chain to the pendant. Your necklace is ready to wear!
