Tutorial- Pea in a Pod Necklaces

image

Awww, we’re just like two peas in a pod! The little peas show how many kiddos you have in your “pod”. Or cats…or friends…you get the idea. It’s easy to cram 4 in there. (My tutorial for the nests is available if you rather make one of those.) But today we’re making peas!! 🙂

To get started, you’ll need:

20 gauge silver wire
Faux pearls or beads that fit on the wire
Silver chain to wear it on
(All of this can be found at Michaels, Joanns, Hobby Lobby and maybe Walmart…so save those coupons!)

First step: Loop the wire and then string the number of “peas” you want on the wire.

Step Two: Give a little twist at the bottom. Then bring the wire back up to the top of the peas and loop it over and behind the wire.

Step Three: Bring the wire down to the bottom of the peas and loop over and around to the front again.

Step Four: Continue looping from top to bottom until you’re happy. I made about seven rows of loops.

Last Step: Cut the wire and hide it in the back. Just tuck it in so it doesn’t poke anyone.

Now put it on a pretty chain and enjoy! I think they make pretty awesome gifts.

Tell us what you think!
