Pennant Pendant Necklace Tutorial

Pennant Pendant Necklace Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson


Designer Tips

  • Use texture plates from the tool kit to create designs on each torch-fired metal clay pennant. Patina each with liver of sulfur.
  • Center one of the pennants on the chain.
  • Add additional pennants evenly spaced to the left and right.
  • Determine spacing of wrapped links. Cut chain and wire wrap links directly to the chain.
  • The micro crimping pliers are great for tucking the trimmed wire ends in on the wire wrapped loops.
