What Do You Need?




To make this project, you'll need the following:
- wire
- pliers
- small beads
- keychain ring or old keychain
- cord/string to make necklace

- small beads
- keychain ring or old keychain

Keychain Ring



If you have an old keychain, remove everything from the ring.
Cut Your Wire


Make sure the wire is longer than the diameter of your ring. Cut eight pieces.
The Tree I







Start by wrapping all eight pieces of wire together.
Unwrap one of the pieces of wire till a bit above the middle. Repeat for the other seven pieces of wire.
Do the same at the bottom. The piece that is still twisted is the trunk.
Divide the roots of the tree in four groups of two. Twist the two wires together to make four roots.

The Branches





As you can see, the trunk is a bit too long. I lowered the branches by unwrapping them a bit and then wrapping them lower.
Position




Take your ring and decide where to place the tree. I decided to go for a place close to the middle.
Wrap the endings of the roots around the ring as shown in the picture.

Making Branches









First, straighten the branches a bit and bend them in the position that you like.
Add beads to them and wrap the end around the ring.

The Necklace





Your pendant is finished now.
Start with a piece of cord that fits over your head, even when knotted. Knot the ends together.
Put the other end of the ord (so not the knotted side) through the pendant. Put the end with the knot through the part that's already through the pendant (you know what, just look at the pics)
