See it here.    • Basic Jewelry Tools Explained: Chain-Nose ...   The complete step by step how to with written instrcutions is on our blog at http://runningwithsisters.com/make-a-... Abridged Transcript: "To make this pendant, we're using a beautiful focal bead that's round and has iridescent painting on it. We also have 2 bicone beads. And we have 2 bead caps and a daisy spacer. We have a tiny copper bead that's faceted. And we have 2 head pins in copper. One head pin is flat on the end and the other has a loop. We've got some rat-tail cording to put our pendant on. And for tools we have chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and wire cutters. To make this pendant, the first thing we're going to do is take our head pin that has the loop on the end and we're going to assemble our pendant by combining all of our bead caps and our beads into a little stack. The first thing I'm doing here is sliding on one of my bead caps face down. Then my decorative bead. Next we're going to take another bead cap and face it so that it's resting on top of the bead. Now we'll take our daisy spacer and put that on top. We've got a teal green bicone. Slide on here. And we're gonna finish that with a tiny faceted copper bead on the top. And now what I'm going to do to make this into a pendant is make a wrapped loop at the top of my last bead here. To do that, I'm going to use my round-nose pliers, I'm going to grasp the wire above that bead, bend the headpin wire 90 degrees. I'm going to reposition the pliers to the top of that bend and pull the wire around this top jaw. I'm going to reposition the pliers so they're in the bottom jaws in that loop, and I'm going to pull my wire around. I'm going to pull the end of that wire around the neck two times. I'm pressing that down and I don't need to trim my end but if your end is sticking out, you can use your flush cutters to trim that end. Now what I want to do is add a little dangle to the bottom of my pendant. To do that I'm going to use my other head pin, and I'm going to slide on my bicone bead. Then I'm going to make another wrapped loop like I did before. Only this time I'm going to catch the wrapped loop into the bottom of that loop that's on here, so that it'll dangle. And now we've got a gorgeous pendant and all we have to do is slide it on to our cord. And I'm going to slide it to the middle of my cording. And then I'm going to tie a knot in the other end of my rat-tail. And now I can wear this beautiful pendant as a long necklace."
