Materials You’ll Need

Step 1: Choose Your Design

Begin by selecting a design for your pendant. Whether it’s a whimsical illustration, a floral motif, or a geometric pattern, let your imagination run wild! Sketch your chosen design onto the base fabric using a pencil or fabric marker, ensuring it fits within the dimensions of your pendant bezel.

Step 2: Prepare Your Fabric

Layer your base fabric with iron-on interfacing to add stability and structure. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop to keep it taut and secure while you work. This will help ensure smooth stitching and prevent any distortion of the fabric.

Step 3: Stitch Your Design

Thread your embroidery needle with your chosen colors and begin stitching your design onto the fabric. Experiment with different stitches and techniques to add texture and depth to your pendant. Whether you prefer satin stitch, backstitch, or French knots, let your creativity shine through!

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Once you’ve completed your embroidery, carefully remove the fabric from the hoop and trim any excess fabric from the edges. Apply a thin layer of fabric glue to the back of the fabric to secure it in place.

Next, place the embroidered fabric into the pendant bezel setting, ensuring it fits snugly. Use fabric glue to secure the fabric to the setting, then allow it to dry completely.

Step 5: Assemble Your Necklace

Thread a chain or cord through the loop on the pendant setting, adjusting the length to your preference. Attach jump rings and a clasp to the ends of the chain to complete your necklace.
