Details in the homemade mothers day gift ideas:

Step1: wrap the two circles for the pendant

1. Prepare a certain long aluminum wire (the length may mainly depends on the size you want for your pendant). Reserve about 5cm long at the beginning and wrap the tail around the thinner position on the assistive stick for your first loop;

2. Push the tail to a thicker position and loop the second loop in same direction;

3. Pull to overlap the two loops;

4. Use the remaining 5cm wire at beginning to wrap two loops together;

5. Pass the extra tail over and under to form a small loop at top. This will be the hanger of your wire wrapped pendant; 

6. Remove the excess wire and tuck the sharp tip.

Step2: wrap on the symbolic beads

In my birthstone necklace, I made use of three abacus glass beads and one pearl bead.

1. Take an enough long brass wire and affix the starting by several turns at a proper location on the outer circle;

2. Slide on one bead and do several turns on the other circle for staying in place;

3. Wrap on the rest beads seriatim in same way;

4. Secure the endings.

Step3: design a chain for your birthstone necklace

In my project, I simply choose a twist chain and then hook on one exquisite spring clasp closure.

Done! This is your new gift!
