Wire Bird Nest TUTORIAL

 Isn't it precious?  It is so dainty.  I love it!

 

Can you do it?  Yes, you can!  (I couldn't resist!)

I have seen these cute little bird nests everywhere & couldn't resist trying it myself.  This is what I used:

Kitchen Scissors (see I told you could use them for everything) 

craft wire

pearls

curly pliers (but I would say they are optional)

 

Cut a length of wire.

(the length I used was from my finger tip to my nose with my hand stretched out -I know, I am precise)

Put 3 pearls on with about 3 inches of wire sticking out.

  

Roll it up and cross the wires .

  

Twist it down to the end of the short piece of wire.

Roll the wire around about 5 or 6 times.

 

 Weave the end of the wire through different places around the nest.

 

Don't forget to go through the middle sometimes.

 

Then....voila'!   

(My sweet Lulu [daughter] told me how to spell that - I was spelling it Whoila) 

Thanks, Lulu - I love you & am glad you are so smart!

That will probably be an earring soon. It is tiny & so cute.  I think I am gonna try to make one with a clothes hanger!

I also made a pendant & a ring.   I can post those tutorials, too - if ya'll want to see them!

Would this make a good blog giveaway?
