This attractive pendant encapsulates the spiritual side of popular fashion jewellery.
Tip – Make sure you trim ends of the wire to create a smooth non – scratchy finish.
Materials Needed.
Bracelet size memory wire
0.4mm wire
Headpins
4mm Crystal Bicones
6mm Crystal Bicones
Dragon Fly Wings
Jump rings.
Step One
Cut a few coils of bracelet size memory wire.
Step Two
Take about a metre of your wire and wrap one end approx 3 or 4 times around one side of the coil. Take the wire to the other side of the memory wire and wrap around the edge again 3 or 4 time. Now pass the back and forth across the memory wire making a web effect. Weave in and out occasionally as you do so.
Step Three
Take an additional piece of wire. Wrap around the top of the memory wire circle 3 or 4 times and then start threading on some seed beads. After about four beads add a 4mm bicone and then start again with the seed beads. Repeat the pattern until you reach the opposite side. Now wrap around the base and start back across to the other side, repeating the pattern as you do so. Wrap around the other side, creating a V shape.
Step Four
Take a headpin and thread on a 4 mm bicone, a bugle bead, another bicone, a set of dragon fly or angel wings and another bicone and a small seed bead. Create a loop with round nose pliers and attach with a jump to the web in the centre of the V shape.
Step Five
Take four headpins and four 6mm Bicones and make four drops using round nose pliers. Now attach to the web in a random fashion. Use a jump ring to create a necklace bail and attach to a chain.
