"I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through dreams; and the dreamers will wake and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be." Dream, in SANDMAN: "Season of Mists", episode 1
Made this for my little sister.

I decided to make a tutorial for this because the woman who made the video I used as a guide kept putting her hands in front of the pendant as she completed each step, which made it sort of hard to follow. The pictures are a little blurry, and the directions may not be too clear, but I hope this helps.

    now, pull the end of the wire back around the 12 gauge wire, making sure it slips through the gap between where the 12 and 26(28) gauge wire first meets.

    it should make a closed loop.

    this is the first 'link'

    continue doing this the entire way around the 12-guage wire circle.

    Step 14

    when you're making your last link, make it as close to the first loop (near where the 12 gauge overlap was wrapped).

    i actually overlapped my last loop over my first one. whatever is easiest for you.

    to finish off, i just wove the end of the 26 (28) gauge wire back up through the loops, then wrapped it around the base of 12-gauge loop, then snipped it off.

    and you're done.
