Bird's Nest Necklaces

Finally! I can begin to post some of the things that I have been making. I don't know who reads this thing, but I was making Christmas gifts and I didn't want anyone to know what they were getting! I think these were my favorite gifts that I made this year... and they were super simple!

You need:
Wire,
beads,
wire snippers,
loops(I'm sure that's not the technical term...),
chains






Ok. First step. Take three beads. I used pearls (fake of course, seriously... my name is not Kardashian) and string them on to one end of the wire. Twist the short end of the wire around the long end to secure the beads to the wire.

Then take the wire and wrap it in a circle around the beads. It should look like the beads are eggs sitting in a nest.

Once your "nest" is as thick as you want it to be, snip your wire leave approximately 6-8 inches of extra wire to wrap the nest together. Take the loose end and wrap it approximately 4-6 times in each of the three spaces left between the beads. You will cross from one part of the nest to the other from the back.

From here you simply attach your loop to the wire and string on the chain and voila!
