Lately, I've been seeing a lot of
cute and simple wired jewelry pendants around in stores so I thought I
would try to see if I could make my own for a fraction of the price. So I made a quick run to Joann's Crafts store
for some materials and tools so I could get started which you can also get a Michael's too.
Tools Needed:
Rounded Tip Pliers
Thin Wire
Small Jump Rings
Necklace Chains
First
step for me was thinking of what I wanted to do which was the initial
"R" for my name. After I knew what I wanted to make, I cut enough wire
using scissors then I started with the edges using my rounded tip pliers
and worked my way to make the shape until I was finished. There are no real steps it's basically just bending the wire as you go along to make the design you want. I just went with the flow of the wire and did my own thing until I felt it looked good as shown below so do what you want and wired...

| Thin wires in gold and silver... |
 |
| Use rounded tip pliers to twist and bend your wires... |
 |
| Twist ends towards which ever side you want so the edges are curled... |
 |
| Voila!!! The edge is curled and now I can finish working on the rest of the letters shape... |
 |
| Continue twisting the wire until you get your end product which for me was "R" and I made it in gold and silver... |
 |
| To link the wire pendant onto a necklace I added these small jump rings... |
