If you’ve come up with a sparkling beading pattern and want to show others how to create it, you might need to make a bead diagram. And when compared with most common jewelry making tutorials, diagrams have huge advantage over others for its conciseness and clearness. In this Beebeecraft tutorial you will discover how to create a handmade pendant that consists of wire and glamorous crystal glass beads.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the handmade pendant

Cut a segment of 20cm long brass wire. Make a triangle bail for your drop bead.

Step 2: Wrap the beads onto the oval link

Here, you will need 50cm long of 0.5mm brass wire, 1 drop bead pendant and 16 abacus beads for each earring. 

Take the wire and start to wrap, keeping 7cm long of wire at beginning. Each time you wrap two and a half turns feed one abacus bead onto the wire. 

In the center, slide on the handmade pendant.

Keep adding the rest of the 8 abacus beads. Fix the wire end in place.

Step 3: Attach on Clip-on Earring Component

Grab the leftover 7cm wire, slide on the clip-on earring component and then make a messy wrapped loop.

Step 4: Make another piece

Repeat steps 1~3 for the other part of your wire jewelry earrings!
