Step 5 of 13
Now, let’s design a simple heady frame for your leaf pendant.
On the front side, coil the remaining 26-gauge silver copper wire along the right middle wire (fig. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d).
On the left frame, coil the 20-gauge wire bundle with a new 26-gauge silver copper wire, and leave a space at the pointed bottom frame (fig. 5e, 5f, 5g).

Step 6 of 13
Form the bail neck by wrapping the remaining straight wire bundle around the top frame in the right direction (fig. 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e).
Then, angle the wire bundle diagonally to the top right side of the frame (fig. 6f).
Line the bail neck wires neatly at the back side (fig. 6g).
Step 7 of 13
Fold the wire bundle at the front side, and split it into two wire strips (fig. 7a).
At the back side, cross the bottom wire strip over the top wire strip horizontally (fig. 7b, 7c).
Then at the front side, leave one horizontal wire behind, and fold the remaining wires inwards along the left pendant frame (fig. 7d, 7e, 7f).
Lastly, line the single horizontal wire along the right pendant frame (fig. 7g, 7h).
Step 8 of 13
Flatten the right single loose wire with a hammer on a base metal plate (fig. 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d).
Then, curve the flat wire along the right pendant frame and anchor at the naked bottom left pointed frame with coiling (fig. 8e, 8f).
At the pendant bail, coil the extra loose 26-gauge silver copper wire onto a bail neck wire for extra texture (fig. 8g, 8h).
