Make a Bead Pendant

Chain and Nuggets Turquoise Pendant

You'll need these supplies:

• Cable chain, 3 inches
• 1 - 10mm Swarovski heart; emerald
• 2 - 8mm Swarovski hearts; emerald
• 3 rhinestone head pins
• 2 earwires
• 2 jumprings

You'll need these tools:

• flush wire cutters
• Round nose pliers
• Bent nose or chain nose plyers

1.) Wrapping the hearts is very easy with the head pins. Bead the headpin, giving some room for the bead bend it up at a 90 degree angle. Using your round nose pliers, bend the wire forward, then in the front of the heart around the rhinstone, then back up.

2.) Use your round nose pliers to make the second loop, tuck the end in the back and trim..

3.) You can put the pendant directly on a chain or bead it into a necklace. For earrings, use a 5mm jumpring and they will set just right.

Enjoy!
