Start with a string of 18-gauge gold copper wire and a bead with hole (fig. 3a, 3b).
Slip the bead onto the 18-gauge wire (fig. 3c).

Then, wrap the wire around your bead for two rounds:
- First round (fig. 3d, 3e, 3f).
- Second round (fig. 3g, 3h).

Step 4 of 8
Next, place the wrapped bead in the middle of your wishbone frame and tape it in position (fig. 4a, 4b).
Wrap the loose wire onto the right frame (fig. 4c, 4d, 4e).
Then, pull the loose wire across the back of your pendant (fig. 4f, 4g).
The loose wire should now be on the left side of your wishbone pendant (fig. 4h).
Step 5 of 8
Pull the loose wire to the top right frame and make a loop (fig. 5a, 5b, 5c).
Then, wrap your loose wire across the pendant back (fig. 5d, 5e).
Face the front of your pendant and anchor your loose wire on the left frame (fig. 5f, 5g).
Make a second smaller wire loop on top of your first loop (fig. 5h).
