PDF TUTORIAL - Starfish wire weaving tutorial
Skill level: Advanced
PLEASE NOTE: This tutorial is not a beginners tutorial and requires some prior knowledge of wire weaving basics.
The pendant itself is created without any soldering but the amethyst bezel requires soldering. It is, however, optional as the bezel can be replaced by a jump ring or a similar pre-made bezel.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create complex and detailed starfish pendant. I will talk you through how to create a base frame, create the woven sections and various stone setting techniques, as well adding detail and finishing your piece.
Also included is a basic version of my weave library as well tips and tricks, tools and materials list.
