Use the simple wire working skills taught in this PotomacBeads tutorial to create a beautiful Wire Cross Pendant.
1.Gather up your Potomax jewelers wire, round nose pliers, wire cutter, and needle nose pliers along with the beads of your choice. Cut a 10 inch piece of 24ga wire. Use the round nose pliers to make a loop and a half near the end, big enough to hold the bead. Make another loop right below it in the opposite direction. This is the top of the cross.
2.Watch the Wire Cross Pendant tutorial to follow Allie’s step-by-step directions to form the cross out of wire and embellish it.
3.Use your fingers to manipulate the beads to make sure they are sitting correctly. Check all the wire edges to make sure they are flattened down. Slip on a chain and you’re done!
These precious little Wire Cross pendants would make a heartfelt gift. They are easy to personalize by adding someones birthstone to the design.
