now how thick of wire do i need to make this. I have access to wire cutters and pliers is there anything else i will need?
The stiffness of wire depends a lot on the type of wire as well as its thickness. Since you don't mention the exact type of wire you have, just fold it around a little bit and see if it gets easily misshapen if it's pressed on or knocked around. Since this particular design is kind of loosely *woven* though, that will add stiffness to any wire design.
But in this case you'll also need a wire that can be curved and manipulated reasonably easily (not too stiff) so that it can be tightly turned and woven back through the design repeatedly.
As for what you need, I'd say at least a drawn guide for the final size and shape so you can keep laying what you've done against it and make corrections. It's not as easy to do symmetrical shapes, and also those that are an even all-over shape (like a triangle or square), as it is to do freeform shapes, but you may not require that level of precision for your pendant.
Instead of a template and free-bending by hand, it might be much better to first make yourself a "jig" of the shape you want using finish-nails in a board, or buy a jig grid with pegs, then bend the wire on the jig... here are some simple jigs for making wire shapes:

You also won't easily be able to make 3 of the projecting "corners" pointed compared to the more rounded ones but you can make them at least a little different. And you'll probably want "round nose" pliers as well as regular flat needle-nose ones if you don't use a jig.
