Check out this gorgeous and intricate Tree of Life pendant tutorial from
Bead Studio . It's an intermediate level project so not one for a beginner, but something to definitely work towards.
I bet you know someone who'd LOVE this for a gift! Instructions Level: Intermediate Materials:
Tools:
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.
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.
