Hello there,Hope you had a great week.You know what the best part of diy jewelry is?? You'll try to wear it more often since you made it!! It has really worked with me because I was very lazy to accessorize earlier but it is changing.- we can make pendants with any medium sized or larger beads. If there are any beads lying round which you kept but dint know what to do, grab them (Small beads will not work). All we need are someUsually the beads we buy have holes punched either vertically or horizontally.I am using a bead with vertical hole, we can do the same for both types of beads (pendant beads and other beads).Happy crafting,
