Pea pod pendants have been around for a while. Many artisans including myself have made our own versions. So if you'd like to have a go, check out these great tutorials. Each of the designers has her distinctive take on the theme.
Amy over at Positively Splendid used colorful craft wire for her Sweet Pea Pod tutorial. I like how she made the free form pod.
Polly of Helping Little Hands started off with Amy's directions but completed the second part in a different way. Check the guest post tutorial out on Keeping It Simple.
Heidi's Hubbub has the herringbone tutorial version of the pea pod pod.
Camille Sharon has a video tutorial on the herringbone version that you can watch.
If a lot of wire work is not your forte, you can hop over to Cathe Holden's leather based pea pod tutorial over at Just Something I Made. The wire work just involves a wire wrapped loop. The leather came from old shoe!

Ooooh, the leather pea pod si so cool! Thanks for thinking of us leatherworkers, too. The peas are blooming here and soon will be ready for harvest. Yum!
ReplyDeleteGreat pendants...I've always said I was going to try the pea in a pod pendant but never got around to it!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Yes, leather would have a softer feel! They are worth trying as people do like them.
