Katiedids™ Interchangeable Pendants

I demonstrated these interchangeable pendants using my Katiedids™ Creative Components at CHA and Tucson - they're super easy but I love the way they look. The bails clip onto ribbon, chain or any type of stringing material. I've been keeping them in my purse and switching them out!

Here are instructions for the small pendant with the flower in the center:
1. Start by passing a head pin outward through the upper two holes on a Katiedids™ Creative Component #356B-526.
2. Make a wrapped loop to attach the head pin to a removable bail.
3. Cut a 4" piece of .015" diameter Beadalon 19 silver color and pass it under the head pin.
4. String fifteen SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS 4mm black diamond rounds onto the wire and pass the other wire end through the beads in the opposite direction to form a circle. Press the beads down into the channel on the component.
5. Use E6000 to glue a crystal flower into the bezel in the center of the component.

Hi Lisa, thanks for your note. You can buy them at your local bead store, on my website, or other online sources like Amazon.com. They'll be in Joanns stores soon, too.
