Option A: Natural Pendulum-


  • Shell (or you can use a raw crystal, holey rock, etc... )
  • a small wood or ceramic bead for the end of the pendulum
  • 12 inch leather chord
  •  20 gauge brass wire (about 15 inches or so)
  • scissors and needle nose jewelry pliers
Option B- Chain and Crystal Pendulum
  • Quartz Crystal (any crystal will work)
  • 10 inch brass cable chain
  • 10 inches of brass 20 gauge wire 
  • 2 small jump rings
  • A small sparkly bead (for the end of the pendulum)
  • Head pins for beads (or you can just use the wire)
  • scissors


Pendulum A steps:
1. Starting with your pre-cut wire begin wire wrapping from the top of shell (the point is facing downwards). You need to create a loop so that the leather cord can go through this loop. (When you are wire wrapping, treat it like you would be creating a pendant, if that makes sense.)
2. Once the shell (or crystal etc.) has been wire wrapped, tie one end of the chord through the top loop of the shell several times.
3. Now at the other end of the leather chord, slide your wood bead or ceramic bead on and then tie the end! 
4. Congrats your done!


Pendulum B steps:
1. Starting with your pre-cut wire, begin wire wrapping from the top of crystal (the point is facing downwards). You need to create a loop so that the jump ring can go through it. (When you are wire wrapping, treat it like you would be creating a pendant, if that makes sense.)
2. Open the jump ring with your needle nose pliers and place the wire wrapped stone on it. Then with your 10 inch cable chain, slide the last link onto the jump ring too. Close the jump ring tightly.

3. Now with your head pin (see below for what these look like) or with your wire, slide a sparkly crystal bead onto it. The create a loop at the end of that. Next get your other jump ring, open it up with needle nose pliers, and slide the last link of the chain onto it. After that, slide the crystals head pin loop onto the jump ring. Close the jump ring tight.  (Example below- a bead with a head pin on it)
4. You're done!
It should look like this:
4. Pendelum Board
Supplies:
  • A smooth, cut piece of wood. (In the picture is a 5"X5" wood square that you can get at Michaels or any craft store.)
  • Wood burnishing tool
  • Pencil
Steps:
1. On the wood piece, draw on your design. I chose to do a pentacle :) At the top and bottom, write the word "Yes." To the right and left of your design, right the word "No." Then in the in-between areas write "Maybe." The reason behind writing all this stuff is that when the pendulum is swinging, you know what the answer to your question was. *As you draw, have your wood burnisher heating up*
2. Once sufficiently hot, trace your wood burnisher over the design over the sketch. Feel free to embellish as you go!


3. You're done!
