The pendant can be made in any size using the wire of your choice. It&#8217;s perfect for showing off your favorite polymer clay beads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">What is special about this particular design <em>(my own design btw)<\/em>, is that it&#8217;s made with only one piece of wire. And with just a simple slide of the clasp, you can easily slip off the focal bead and exchange it for a different one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Today you get to see the sneak peek video. Then, coming up on Friday January 29th, the full video tutorial will be posted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/become-a-member\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Members Library<\/a> as Volume-020-4.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I really love the idea of being able to switch out beads<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Lisa-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Oh I love these and how the look can transform with varying beads and wires used. I&#8217;d definitely look forward to learning this technique. What a unique way to wear and showcase a lot of different beads!<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"> <\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~DJ<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Hi Cindy, I would love to see how this is made&#8230; think of the possibilities for earrings as well!\u00a0 Make one set of earrings and being able to change out the beads to match your outfit would be wonderful!\u00a0 Thanks so much for doing these videos&#8230; it makes learning so much easier to see how to do a technique. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Dawna-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Supplies &amp; Tools: Video-020-4: Interchangeable Pendant:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">19 &#8211; 21 gauge half hard wire. I used 20 gauge copper wire from the hardware store that comes half hard. But you can use the wire of your choice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Round Nose Pliers. Use jewelry quality tools, not hardware store stuff which will leave scratches and dents on your wire.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chain Nose Pliers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Flush Cutters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Small round container in the size you want your pendant to be. I used a glass, straight sided spice jar. A small bottle of craft paint, glaze or a pill bottle will work as well. The wire will be able to be wrapped around the jar and then slid off. Once you see the video, you will see what I mean.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Love the look and the idea.
