I have found so many tutorials through Pinterest that I have to try some of them. I think it will take me awhile to get around to all of them. Here are some of the results from two of them.
I decided to show how the charm pendants can be used. Here I used some stitch markers as charms. I think it is a great idea for a way to carry around stitch markers if you are a crochet or knitting person.
I did a bit of tweaking on the copper charm pendant and it looks a bit better. I have added a couple of items to show off its use. I like it. Maybe someone else will like having one of these.
Another tutorial that I found was another wire wrapping style. This one takes beads that have been drilled and strings them in a circle shape then wraps wire around them. Of course, I tried one with 6 of the same beads as in the first example Then I made another and another. Why not?? The tutorial suggested trying different sizes and different numbers of beads together.
The one of the right is the first one I made. The one on the left is two different styles/colors of fresh water pearls which I have had in my stash for awhile (of course). A bit lopsided but the more I look at it, the more I like it.
This next one is a blue tiger eye stone in the middle surrounded by blue tiger eye beads. Not sure I like it but someone might. If not, I can always take it apart and do something different with the stone and beads.
This last one was a thought that popped out of my stash when I was looking for other beads. Just big plastic shiny beads that I had not remembered. They make up nicely for a decoration/ornament and I have some colored wires that have been languishing in my wire stash. I think they turned out well. Too bad I don't have more of those big plastic beads. I could have made a lot more of them to give as gifts.
I found this cute idea for a charm pendant. I made it first in a lighter weight gauge of silver then went to the heavier gauge of copper. Not bad for first efforts but I do need more practice.
