CCL - Tutorial - Wire Sculpted Bead Pendant

Description

For those of you looking for a more ornate yet easy to do project this one is for you. Just a simple lampwork or polymer clay bead all dressed up with flowing strands of wire. For this tutorial I used a 14mm bead. You can use larger beads but just remember you'll also need a little more wire.

Skill Level: Easy to Intermediate

Materials Needed:
30 inches 22 gauge Square Soft temper wire of your choice
Copper, Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Fill

One 14mm bead with a 2mm hole. Polymer clay beads can
be drilled out to size easily.

TOOLS:
Flush wire cutter
Flat nose pliers with smooth jaw
Mandrel to make your bail. I used a #9 knitting needle
1/8” quilters tape or low tack painters tape
OPTIONAL: Pin vice or locking pliers for twisting those
outer wires.
