So here I was staring at my kewl bail-less pendants. Then it hit me. I grabbed my 20 gauge jewelry wire and started experimenting!
Check it out!

You Will Need
-
Step 1I used 20 gauge wire for my bails.
You also need:
Wire cutters
Jewelery pliers -
Step 2Cut off a good size piece of wire. This all depends on what size and heavy your project will be.
I made mine a bit longer since I was making these for the domino pendants I had made.
-
Step 3Take the end of your wire and begin to tightly twist around.
Make sure your twisty swirl is flat as you do.
-
Step 4You should have something like this.
-
Step 5Then at the end you want to start twisting the opposite way.
Depending on the chain that will go through the hole. Do not twist so tightly like you did in the beginning step.
-
Step 6Once your done with that end,
twist slightly.
*poof*
Completed!
-
Step 7Ta da!
Just add the heavy duty glue that you use and place it on your project.
Set it aside and let it dry completely.

Step 8Just beautiful!!
Happy crafting my CO&k Buddies!
