    Quick Project Steps

    The Charity Pendant is a beautiful piece of jewelry that will add a touch of elegance to any outfit. The crystals in the pendant really shine through, making it a stand-out piece.
    1.Use a seed bead from your project as a stop bead, leaving a small tail. Pick up 5 IrisDuos separated by seed beads. Thread back through all of the beads, including the stop bead. Take the two thread ends and tie a knot.
    2.Watch the Charity Pendant tutorial to follow along with Anna as she creates the design and adds the Potomac crystal rivoli.
    3.Add a bail to the pendant by creating one out of seed beads. Make a loop large enough to accommodate whatever chain or leather you are going to hang the pendant on.
    The Charity Pendant is a lovely little pendant that would make an excellent friendship gift. Make two matching pendants and create a stunning pair of earrings. Whichever you decide, you will love the look of this charming pendant from PotomacBeads.
