Jem Hawkes is showing us how to make beautiful wire-wrapped pendants using beads and components from the All Heart Collection by Jesse James Beads. This collection is filled with heart-shaped items perfect for creating Valentine's gifts and accessories.
For this project, we will be using some of the heart chains from the collection as well as the stone Jasper hearts, A Mosaic charm, and some beads from the red Lampwork bead strand. We will be using some 20 gauge wire, and we will be using gold, you can also use silver with the corresponding chain or mix and match your metal colors. We will also need a small amount of 18 gauge wire.
For tools, you will need your wire cutters, some round nose pliers, and bent nose pliers. We also recommend having bail-making pliers on hand to create the wire-wrapped loops. You will also need a round form or Mandrel. The Mandrel Jem is using in this tutorial is from a Beadalon Wood Mandrel set.
