Tutorial Tuesday - Bird nest necklaces

Today's tutorial is the bird nest necklace.

I saw these on pinterest & thought they were so cute.

 And it turns out they are pretty easy.

What you will need:

• Jewelry wire (I used 24 gauge)
• pearls or glass beads (I used round glass beads)
• necklace chain
• jump rings & clasp
• jewelry pliers & wire cutter

 (More pics to come.  I will document as I make my next one)

Start by selecting the beads & string them on the wire.
Start wrapping the wire around the beads.

I chose to wrap some wire in between each bead to make it look more finished & to keep the "nest" together.

Next you can either attach a jump ring or make a loop with the wire.

Take your chain & determine the length.  I decided to make my chain 30" long.  I attached a jump ring & clasp to the wire & strung the nest on the necklace.  

I think it turned out pretty cute.

Enjoy!
