Join us for our next Chain Maille Project video where we teach you a project based on weaves we have already shown you, rather than the weave itself

Today we are showing you how to weave up this cute little project, Captured Beads Flower Pendant.

To make the hearts we suggest the following components:

Jump Rings: https://www.aussiemaille.com/bright-aluminium-jump-rings/

Crackle Glass Version Beads - 6mm round 18G(1.0mm) x 6.25mmID x 30 18G(1.0mm) x 2.75mmID x 28

Czech Glass Version Beads - 6mm round 18G(1.0mm) x 6.00mmID x 31 18G(1.0mm) x 2.75mmID x 28

Plus whatever cord and ring/bail you need to attach the pendant to it.

Celtic knot pendant tutorial; fancy Triquetra pendant with crystal beads incorporated in it.

This video Macrame owl tutorial, inspired by Harry Potter's Hedgwig. You can customize the color by changing the threads, the bigger size, the bigger product. One interesting feature of this design is that most of the square knots are three-strand rather than four-strand. Another interesting feature is the way half-hitches are tied over multiple cords to tie the wings and the body together.

Lantern pendant with large spherical stones without holes - jewelry making from copper wire. Really nifty way of ensuring that the petals are even. This pattern is suitable for stones with a diameter bigger than 1cm; the bigger the stone, the bigger the lantern. Without the Viking-knit bottom, this pattern can be used to make bead caps. Likewise, one could use a large bead cap for the first part of the pattern, and enclose with Viking knit.

Wire size to make pendant with diameter of stones 14 - 16mm 22 gauge ( wire diameter 0.6mm ) : 25cm( 10 inch) 28 gauge ( wire diameter 0.3mm ) : 50cm( 20 inch)

This method of turning a cork-stoppered vial into a pendant makes the attachment by putting a hole through the cork rather than tying something around the neck of the vial/jar. As long as the cork is not loose, this is a much neater method.

Tutorial for making a _hot air balloon_ pendant using chains and beads. This is apparently movie-themed for the movie _Up_, but a hot air balloon is cool whether it's associated with a movie or not.

Showing the design process for a wirework pendant (more of a wirework centrepiece, really) Cool.

Cool tree-of-life tutorial which wraps a tree around a stone donut AND uses beads for leaves -- usually I've seen one or the other but not both.

Unlike most tree-of-life tutorials, this one starts from the top down rather than from the roots up. Makes a lot more sense that way, when using beads.

Pretty twiny-viny wire beaded necklace centrepiece tutorial.

Turn hearts into flowers! That is, take heart-shaped beads and use them as the petals of a bead flower.

Not in English, but there is Google Translate. Still not entirely easy to follow the instructions. Still noting this because I like the idea.

Double-layer washer and bead pendant tutorial. I like how it layers a smaller washer on top of the large washer, and puts beads on the edges.
