Pendant Preparation: Slide your chosen bead onto a head pin and create a loop above it. Insert the loop through the middle link of a 3-inch rolo chain segment.
Connecting Chain to Wire: Attach wire protectors to both ends of the chain using crimp beads. Thread beading wire through the protectors, looping it back through crimp beads to secure.
Beading: Design and bead up the sides of the necklace with your chosen beads, covering the extra wire for a seamless look.
Finishing Touches: Add a clasp to the ends of the beading wire, securing it with crimp beads. Trim any excess wire.
