DIY Bird Nest Pendant

 
Supplies:
-Round Nose Pliers
-Flat Nose Pliers
-Memory Wire Cutter
-"18" Size Wire (optional)
-"22" Size Wire
-Beads (you can use as many as you want)
 
Cut a long piece of the "22" Wire and string the beads onto the middle
 
Twist the wire in the middle of the beads

Twist the wire even more until the beads touch each other
 
Start wrapping the remaining wire around the beads. Hold onto the wire because it might fall apart

Keep wrapping the wire around. When all the wire is used up, tuck the wire's ends into the nest
 
 
Insert the "18" wire into the nest and start wrapping it vertically to hold the "22" wire in place.
(You do not need different sized wire, but the nest is easier to make if you have a smaller size wire in this step)
 

Keep wrapping the "18" wire to keep the original wire in place
When the "18" wire runs out, tuck in the ends into the nest again
 
 
Finished! You can string a chain through the wire for a necklace!
