How to turn in your pendant! First you will assemble your pendant with the jump ring going through the back piece and the front piece. Than you will attach it to the chain in the display to photograph. You will take a photo with your phone and email the image to francesconip@ogdensd.org Lastly you will fill out the reflection and rubric. Put the rubric and reflection into your hanging file sticking out so I can grade.
Jewelry Bead Spiders
Agenda for today Go over what we did last time. We are going to go step by step and make a bead spider. You will take notes on how to do the bead spider than I will let you go. If you need to finish your pendant do that after you take notes. Once done I will photograph them and if you have paid your class fee you can take them home today.
Last time Many of you finished polishing your piece and will be assembling today. If you are not done than after we take notes on this project you will get back to work on your pendant.
What you will need One flat nose plyers One round nose plyers One cutters one 8 inch piece of 20 gage wire (thick). Four 7 inch pieces of craft wire (thin). 1 large bead 1 medium bead 48 bugle beads (the tube looking ones) 48 seed beads (the tiny round looking ones) Make sure that you like them all together because they will be your bead spider.
Step 1 Using your 20 gage wire make a coil or a loop at one end of your wire (just like we did with the earrings).
Step 2 Put on the large and small bead in whatever order you think will look best hanging. Finish off the other end with a jewelry loop or coil.
Step 3 Using the 4 thinner wires you will fold in half and wrap around the center of the spider once. Try to keep the legs equal so you have legs that look the same.
Step 4 Alternate pearl beads and bugle beads to create the pattern that you like on each of the legs. The pattern is up to you just make sure to repeat on each leg so they look the same. Once you finish the pattern end the leg with a jewelry loop.
Step 5 Finish by clipping off extra wire and bending your spider to look the way you want it to. You can make it a pendant, a key chain, a charm, or just a stand alone decoration.
Studio Time Finish your pendant photograph and e-mail to francesconip@ogdensd.org Fill out rubric and reflection and put into your hanging file sticking out so I know it is ready to be graded. Begin making your bead spider. You need to complete as many bead projects as possible to get the best grade. If you only make one bead project you will only have that one chance for a grade, so the more you make the better grade you will have.
