In my search for a DIY tree of life pendant tutorial Muhaiminah Faizs creation caught my
attention. For those who are not bead hoarders or bead addicts LOL here is a tree of life
pendant variation that I found really unique. All you need is your 18ga wire, 22ga wirem
wire cutters and pliers. Muhaiminah Faiz call her creation swirly jewelry and I think it ts
the name

Wrap the wire twice around the round object. After wrapping it twice leave 2 cm extra and
cut off the wire from the bundle. Bend the loop into 90 degrees and coil the extra 2 cm
wire below the loop as shown in the picture.

Measuring the wires for making the swirly tree is quite difcult because the wire required
to make the swirls are hard to measure. The base circle made was of 2 cm radius so cut 6
pieces of 22 gauge wire, each of them being 18 cm long.

Hold all 6 pieces of 22 gauge wire together. Leave 4 cm of the wires straight and then twist
2 cm of the wires together as shown in the 1st picture of this step. The twisted part would
be the trunk of the tree. Stop twisting the wire when the trunk reaches its required length.

Now, place the twisted wires on the base circle, keeping the 4 cm straight part of the wires
outside the base circle. Well create the root system of the tree using these extra 4 cm.
Carefully coil 1-1.5 cm of the extra wires around the base circle. Use the rest of the wires
to make swirly patterns. Use the at nose plier to atten the swirls with the base circle.
There, we have a swirly root system!
In this step were going to make the swirly tree branches. Start from one side. Hold a wire
from any one side, use the looping pliers to make a small loop on that wire, near the trunk.
Circle the wire 2 times around that loop to make a swirly pattern, Now make another loop
near the swirl, by winding the wire to the opposite direction of the previous one. Again,
circle the wire 2 times around the loop to create another swirl.
Keep doing the same until youve created swirls on all 6 branches (wires).
While making swirls on the branches make sure to keep 4 cm extra on the wire otherwise
you wont be able to complete the edge. After completing the swirly branches coil 1-1.5 cm
of the remaining wire around the base circle, Use the rest of the wire to make swirly
pattern and bend or rotate the swirl to atten it with the rest of the swirly branches.
Done coiling the edge? now simply attach the pendant with a chain or string through the
loop on the base circle.
