Charm Jewellery Blog

Does anyone have any idea about making a charm for a bracelet or making a pendant for a necklace with a river stone I found ? It is very small… perhaps 0.5 x 1 cm …

Does anyone know the best way to make it a charm ? Do I have to make a hole in it ?
Also, the stone is not round and smooth, it is rough, and the shape of a wolf's head… that is why I find it so interesting !
Do I have to use a jump ring ?

One way to turn a stone into a charm is to use wire wrapping techniques.
-you will need a pair of needle nose pliers (if the pliers have “teeth” wrap the ends of pliers with masking tape to prevent scratching the wire), and round nose pliers.
-You will also need some wire cutters.
- you will need some wire - most craft stores have different sizes and types of wire. Even some hardware store will have aluminum and copper wire. (Just be sure not to get anything with lead in it!)
