How to Hang a Pendant or Charm

Go over how to hang crystals, pendants, and charms correctly on your jewelry in Better Beaders Episode 132. More specifically, there is no more being stumped when you encounter a pendant or charm in a project with either a front-facing hole or a loop that faces flat to the body. Many find that unless you know to correct it, the pendant or charm will most likely be hung wrong on the jewelry piece. When tuning into this Better Beaders Episode, you'll quickly understand with Allie at your side how you can solve what many have discovered to be a complex issue at times when working within differing beading projects.

For Pendants with Front-Facing Holes: Use a 49 strand beading wire, thread through the pendant from the base to create a bail with seed beads, ensuring the pendant hangs flat.
For Charms on Bracelets: Use jump rings to change the direction of charms so they lay flat against the skin.
For Minimalist Necklaces: With a front-facing loop, loop the cord or thread through the pendant, back through the opposite direction, and then through the created loop to secure the pendant in the correct orientation.
