How to Make a Sea Glass Pendant
Cut a piece of square wire, long enough to make the bail
3.
Using a wood dowel, place it on the wire where you would like the loop to be
7.
Using your half round wire, wrap it around the neck, where you pinched it together.
Pull your ends very tight
4.
Wrap the wire around the dowel
2.
Put the wire through the drilled hole, and put the sea glass in the center and bend.
6.
Pinch the wire together with pliers
10.
If you have a vise twist until you like the look
You can still roll the wire up without using a vise
11.
This is what it will look like when using a vise
Your ends can be longer or shorter. Add your own taste.
5.
I like to start from the center of the neck, so I fold my half round wire in the middle.
13.
Take pliers flat against the J and stat to roll it.
9.
Pull out the 2 end wires
12.
Take your pliers, chain or needle nose, and make a tight J at the end.
8.Tuck the bottom end of the wire in where the red arrow is
For the top wire, you are going to tuck it in the loop. Cut the access half round wire to the correct length before tucking.
You can make your pendant as large or even as small as a charm.
I am using a 20 mm piece of sea glass.
So adjust your lengths to your piece.
You can also make the bail smaller, using a smaller in diameter dowel
