In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create this versatile wire woven pendant. You can use either a square or a rectangle cabochon to create this piece. This weave really shows off the stone and is very secure.

So, let's get started!
............................................................
For materials you’re going to need:
8” Segment 16 G Square wire
(X2) 5” segments 21 G 1/2 round wire
~12” segment of 21 G 1/2 round wire
(X2) 2” segments of 18 G 1/2 round wire
A teardrop cabochon. I’m using a 18mmx 25mm cabochon for this tutorial.
2-3 feet 28 gauge weaving wire
(X3) 7” Segments of 20 G Round wire
(X2) 7” segments of 20 G square wire
And another 7”segment of 20 or 18 gauge round wire. (I ended up using 20 gauge for this tutorial.)

For tools, you’re going to need:
A ruler
A Ring mandrel, or something round like a large dowel
Flush cutters
Chain nose pliers
Round nose pliers

It's not necessary, I recommend having a pair of flat nose pliers as well.

As a beginning wire wrapper, you made this gorgeous pendant more doable and less frightening to try! Looking forward to trying this with my polymer stones that I've made!

Thank you Ellie for such a wonderful way to teach us how to get this beautiful wrap done and you made it come together so well. Your instruction method is amazing!!. You have a new subscriber. ♥️

Hi Ellie, thank you so much for your tutorials. I’ve never done anything with a frame before so this was m first attempt . I’m pleased to say “it’s passable “. You make everything look so easy.

[loriross]

That is cute! I want to thank you for the very easy to follow tutorial, and for speaking clearly and at a nice pace. I have listened to other tutorials and they spoke too fast, and wasn't close enough or explained what they were doing. I am thinking about starting and your video was great! Thank you.

You wrapped that cab like a Boss (as the hip cats say, haha)! I think my fave part was how you broke down each step into doable portions that look highly achievable. I’m not even close to intermediate at working on my 3rd weaving project, but know that I will be able to create something like this beauty by following this generous tutorial. Love your shoutout to Oxana, that cool technique was in my first wrap. You both have a very calm, relaxing voice and style that I so appreciate. Thank you for this and please know you’re most appreciated by this gal ;)
