DIY beginner wire weave pendant

I love to do Custom work, let's get creative and make something really special!

Tools
  1. Round nose pliers
  2. Flat nose pliers
  3. Cutter
  4. Ruler
  5. Sharpie
  6. ⅜” dowel
  7. Ring mandrel or 1” dowel

Materials
  1. 18g wire 18”
  2. 26-24g wire 24”
  3. ¾ ” teardrop stone


Directions
  1. Cut 18g wire into two even pieces(9”)

  2. Mark center of the wires then mark out 1” on either side of the center mark

  3. Wrap 1” of thinner wire around one 18g wire on one of the outer marks heading toward the center of the wire.

  4. Holding second 18g wire begin wrapping around the second wire three times

  5. Weave back to the first wire and wrap it three times

  1. Alternate back and forth just before you get to the last mark on the wires

  2. Be sure to keep smushing the wires together and keep them ¼” apart as you weave.

  3. Now wrap 1” of coils around the 18g wire to finish weave

  4. trim and flatten wire

  5. Shape wire woven wires around the 1” dowel or ring mandrel to make a hammock for the stone bottom. 
  6. Shape as needed carefully around the stone, you may use painters tape to help hold the stone( I found the tape would not stay on my stone because it was so small and smooth)

  1. Bend front and back wires at top to capture the stone

  2. Wrap back wires around the ⅜” dowel to create a bail leaving tails flat against the stone back

  3. Using front wires wrap around the bail twice so tails end in the stone front 

  1. Trim back wires, file them and curl them up towards the bail to hide ends

  2. Trim and then curl the front wires flat to make a pretty design and to help secure the stone.
