PDF TUTORIAL

'Starfish pendant' 

What's incuded:

• Link to a digital pdf file for the tutorial
• A link to a printable frame
• Materials list
• Tools list
• A guide to various weaves and stone setting techniques

Please Note: This tutorial is not intended for beginners and assumes some foundational knowledge of wire weaving techniques.

The pendant is crafted without the need for soldering; however, the amethyst bezel does require soldering. This step is optional since the bezel can be substituted with a jump ring or a similar pre-made bezel.

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating an intricate and detailed starfish pendant. I will explain how to construct a base frame, develop the woven sections, and employ various stone-setting methods, as well as how to add finishing touches to your piece. Additionally, I will provide a basic version of my weave library along with tips and tricks, as well as a list of tools and materials needed.
