Sweet Skull Pendant Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

Using ball-end head pins, make 8 beaded loop dangles in flowery colors. Use one metal rondelle on each side of the crystal bead for fuller dangles. Wrapped loops will add additional length.

For step-by-step instructions for making beaded loop dangles, as well as the best way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (free download below).

Use a small circle stamp, to stamp a pattern in the border of the round pewter blank. Fill center with sugar skull and flower.

New to stamping? See Metal Stamping 101 (free download below) for step-by-step tutorial.

Use 2 jump rings at the top of the floral connector, and one jump ring at the bottom, to attach all components together.
Slide bail onto chain of your choice.
