Let's get started!
Step 1

Grab the wire 1 inch from the top with the back part of your round nose pliers, and make a loop.

Hold the loop you just made with your pliers and wrap the wire around a couple of times.		  
Step 3

Bend your gold wire out to the left about a half inch below the loop.		  
Step 4

Take the wire and bend it underneath 1/2 inch from the center post of the cross. Do the same on the other side. 		 
Step 5

Hold the wire at the center post of the cross with your pliers and bend it down to make the body of the cross.		  
Step 6

Grasp the bottom of the cross about one inch from center and bend the wire back up over itself.		  
Step 7

Tighten up the edges with your pliers. 		 
Step 8

Snip off the excess wire with your flush cutters. 		 
Step 9

Your Cross Pendant is ready to use for making dangles for earrings or other jewelry.
