Wire-Wrapping Gold Tree Of Life Heady Cabochon Pendant Tutorial

Step 7 of 18

Now, let’s form the second tree branch with 4 gold copper wire strings to the left (fig. 7a).

Twist the wires into a branch and two twigs (fig. 7b).

Then, weave the remaining gold copper wires onto the main wire frame base (fig. 7c, 7d, 7e).

Your second tree branch is complete (fig. 7f).

Step 8 of 18

Next, separate 8 gold copper wire strings for your third tree branch (fig. 8a).

Twist the wires into a thick branch and then split them into 4 tree twigs (fig. 8b).

Then, anchor the 2 left most twigs onto the top left of the main wire frame base and weave the remaining gold copper wires (fig. 8c, 8d, 8e).

Step 9 of 18

Moving on, anchor the third twig on the top left frame of the main wire frame base (fig. 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d).

Then, split the fourth twig and anchor the gold copper wires on the left and right of the top frame as shown (fig. 9e, 9f).

Step 10 of 18

Lastly, let’s work on the fourth and final tree branch with 4 remaining gold copper wire strings (fig. 10a).

Similarly, twist the wires into a branch and then two twigs (fig. 10b).

Then, weave the remaining gold copper wires onto the top right frame of the main wire frame base (fig. 10c, 10d, 10e).

Step 11 of 18

Fourthly, let’s form the pendant bail.

Arrange the top 18-gauge copper wires of the main wire frame base according to the layers from the bottom frame (fig. 11a, 11b, 11c).

Then, take a new 24-guage gold copper wire string and weave the top 18-gauge copper wires into a zig zag pattern as shown (fig. 11d, 11e, 11f).

Once you have reach the desired length for your bail, curl the weaved 18-gauge copper wire into a U-shape with a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 11g, 11h, 11i, 11j, 11k).

Trim off the excess 24-gauge gold copper wires using a wire cutter (fig. 11l, 11m).
