Steps (16 steps, 25 minutes)

1. 1

   Gather your supplies. You'll need a pendant hoop and wooden circle, that are the same size, a slightly smaller mirror tile and enough crystal beads to fit around the circumference of your pendant.

2. 2

   Start by applying some glue to the back of the mirror tile.

3. 3

   Place the mirror in the middle of the wooden circle and press firmly, leaving to dry for a few minutes.

4. 4

   Now glue the pendant hoop around the outside of the mirror tile and leave to dry.

5. 5

   Cut a short length of jewellery wire, long enough to fit around the circumference of your pendant twice.

6. 6

   Twist one end of the wire securely around the top of the pendant hoop.

7. 7

   Begin threading the wire with the crystal beads.

8. 8

   Add enough beads so that, when pulled tight, they fit perfectly around the pendant.

9. 9

   Tightly twist the two ends of wire together at the top.

10. 10

    Using the remaining tail of wire, wrap each bead tightly in place by weaving the wire up and down through the middle of the crystals.

11. 11

    Tightly twist again around the other tail, when you reach the top of the pendant.

12. 12

    Turn the pendant over.

13. 13

    For extra security, wrap the wire around the back of the pendant, wrapping from one crystal across the back to the opposite crystal. Repeat until you've used up all of the wire, then tie off and trim.

14. 14

    Pick out a sharpie in your favourite colour of lipstick.

15. 15

    Write your favourite Manic Street Preachers quote on the mirror and leave to dry.

16. 16

    Place on a necklace chain and it's ready to wear to your next Manics gig!
