Wire-Wrapping Whimsical Woven Two Tree Handmade Pendant Tutorial

Step 3 of 15

Moving on, let’s frame the back of your pendant.

Wrap the remaining straight 16-gauge copper wires around your stone (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c).

Then, take 12 strings of 26-gauge copper wire, and slip them in between your stone and back frame (fig. 3d, 3e).

Facing the front, anchor the 26-gauge copper wire strings onto the bottom left of the back frame with 2 coils each (fig. 3f, 3g).

Line the remaining 26-gauge copper strings along the front of your stone as shown (fig. 3h).

Checkpoint: This is how the bottom left woven frame should look (fig. 3i).

Step 4 of 15

Now, let’s create the first tree of life design on the left side of your pendant.

Split the 26-gauge copper wire strings into two bundles of 6 wires (fig. 4a).

Then, twist the wire bundles together to form the tree trunk (fig. 4b, 4c).

After that, form two tree branches by twisting the wire bundles separately (fig. 4d).

Step 5 of 15

Next, undo the twist on the right tree branch to spread out the tree twigs (fig. 5a).

Coil the ends of your tree twigs onto the 16-gauge back wire frame (fig. 5b, 5c, 5d).

And then, use the remaining loose 26-gauge copper wires to coil the naked 16-gauge back wire frame (fig. 5e, 5f).

Step 6 of 15

Similarly, undo the twist on the left tree branch and spread out the tree twigs (fig. 6a, 6b).

Coil the tree twigs on the bottom left side of the back frame (fig. 6c, 6d).
