Pendant
Tip - These designs can be created using a variety of color schemes. To save time in future projects, coil the wire around the entire length of bamboo skewer and cut off desired amount leaving the rest pre-made for future projects.

In this project, we are making one pendant set at a time. If you are making a variety of pendants in various color schemes, sandwich your card stock between an entire sheet of double-sided tape. Use a stylus to impress the pattern into the pink liner and cut out several shapes all at once.

Steps:
1. Coil black wire around bamboo skewer. Cut a 1-1/2-inch long coil (Figure A).
