Summary: This cherry pendant necklace tutorial is going to tutor you a simple way regarding how to build your own charm necklace with chunky acrylic bead and versatile copper wire.
Cherry has been ripe enough to eat now; in cherry orchard, numerous cherry trees grow, blossom and bring forth inviting fruit! I love the cherry fruit and want to make necklaces with cherry decoration.

1.5mm black aluminum wire
0.5mm black copper wire
20mm red acrylic bead
Black iron chain
Black jump ring
Round nose plier
Flat nose plier
Wire cutter
Instructions:

2nd, wrap both ends downwardly;
3rd, cut off excess wire;
