Create Trendy Pendant Necklaces Using Bails

When you are in the learning process of beginning beading, there is so much to learn and sometimes it can be overwhelming.

But if you break it down, start with just the basics and build from there then you have set the ground work to explore in more depth once you are more comfortable with the different elements in jewelry making.

For this page, we will focus on one simple and easy to use finding called a bail.

Findings are very necessary components to creating most any kind of beaded jewelry.

Findings are what holds your jewelry together and findings can also be incorporated as part of your design.

Depending on the particular finding used in your piece, that finding can become the focal point.

That is how bails are used.

By using this one component, bails give you many choices to creating the focal point of any piece by creating a pendent from an ordinary bead.

I'll keep it simple with no fluff.

We will talk about the uses and any beading tools that you may need to apply bails.

By the end of the page you will have a better understanding and better idea of some of the additional findings you may want to keep on hand; bails.

If this already seems overwhelming to you, hang in there with me, work your way down the page and it will all start to come together.

For your convenience, I have created an 'all in one' page that discusses the very basics to beading. You can find it by following this link. I share with you an overview.

If you would also like to see how many different categories that are classified as 'beading' then check out my page on 'Discover Beading Basics'.

Or if you would like other information on basics to beading then be sure to check out my other pages I've written on this very topic.

P.S. Just a note of interest to me, I discovered while creating this page that pendent or pendant is spelled with both an 'a' and 'e', so don't be surprised if you find both spellings throughout the page.
