BEADED TREE OF LIFE PENDANT TUTORIAL

Please note this is an intermediate project.

Materials:

One 6mm Soldered Ring

4" 16g Sterling Wire

3ft 24g Soft Sterling Wire

- cut into four 9" pieces

Assorted Gemstones chips - in leaf colors

Tools:

1" diameter Dowel or Pipe

Wire Cutter

Chain-Nose Pliers

Step 1 – Using the dowel or pipe as your form, bend the 16g wire around and cut to create a complete circle.

Step 2 – Slide the 6mm soldered ring onto the loop you create with the heavier wire.

Step 3 - Anchor the 4 pieces of 24g wire to the bottom of the loop by wrapping several time around. (This will also hide ends where they meet on the wire frame.)

Step 4 – Twist the wires together to create a trunk. This should be about 1/2" or half the diameter of the circle.

Step 5 – Add the stone chips to the wires and weave* them to create the branches. Create a small loop at then end of each wire after the chips so they don't fall off.

*You can simply cross the beaded wires to create fullness.

Step 6 – Wrap the end of the wire around the frame to anchor. Make sure you capture the soldered ring in the center as you do this so your pendant hangs properly.

Step 7 – Trim the ends and tuck down into the direction of the wire.
