5: A file.

6: A bead of your choice. I used this glass bead.

Follow these steps to make your free form charm:

1: Cut the wire to be approximately 12-15 cm long using the cutting pliers.

2: Hammer the end of the wire wide and flat using the hammer. It should be wide enough to keep your bead from falling off the wire.

3: Hammer the rest of the wire flat but not so wide that your bead won’t go onto the wire.

4: File the ends of the wire so that they are not sharp.

5: Add the bead to the wire, securing it against the widest end of the wire.

6: bend the wire around the bead in any formation you like.

7: Bend the end of the wire into a bail at the top of your bead, you can use the round nose pliers to make this look neat.

Once your bail has been made your pendant is complete! How will you form yours?
