Beaded Woven Frame Pendant Tutorial Pattern
Category:
JewelryType:
PendantSkill Level:
Intermediate
Pattern Description:
This lesson teaches you to make a beaded frame for a pendant. Though it is shown on a teardrop shaped bead, it can easily be adapted to work with almost any shape of bead, including crystal points. Also, if you prefer a frame without beads, you can leave them out of the weave for a simpler look. You could even use a different style of weave for the frame.
With a little bit of imagination, and few changes here and there, you can create a limitless number of pieces using the techniques in this tutorial.
The stone used for the pendant I made while illustrating this tutorial is a titanium druzy teardrop. An excellent supplier for the druzy beads used in this design is NeatoThings on Etsy:

Materials:
- 1 Teardrop shaped bead - Must be top side drilled (other shapes can be used for this lesson with a few adaptations)
- 20g Round Soft Wire (amount depends on size of bead)
- 28g Round Soft Wire (amount depends on size of bead)
- 2mm beads (amount depends on size of focal bead)
You Will Also Need:
- Chain nose pliers
- Round nose pliers
- Wire cutters

My name is Donna. I've been making "stuff" for as long as I can remember. I began making and selling beadwork at pow wows when I was a teenager, but had to give it up when my daughter was born. After that I dabbled in computer graphics (mostly gui design) but never really did a whole lot with it.
Then one day, as I sat at my computer, bored to death, I picked up a paper clip and a pair of small pliers. A few minutes later I had made my first pair of wire earrings. At that point I was hooked. I needed more wire. Then I had to have beads. Then I needed more wire.
It's a never ending addiction.
