Wired Birds Nest Charm {Tutorial}


Wired birds nests are so fun to make! Wonderful for Easter and perfect for SpringFrom the I first saw them (here) I just knew I had to find out how to make them! This sent me on a google search where I found tons of them and to ETSY where I found that they are quite popular!

Here is one of the methods I found for making them:
Supplies: 3 beads that remind you of eggs, several strands of wire and wire cutters.

Start by stringing on your beads.

Then wrap them into a triangle shape.

Looping the extra wire on the underside.

Then make hooks on a few lengths of wire.

Hook each length to the underside and wrap around the beads.

Continue until you get to a size and shape you like, then use your last wires to wrap around the sides of the nest and form a loop at the top.


Adorne with ribbon to make ornaments for an Easter tree, make with real pearls as a pendant for a necklace, or add small beaded leaves or a little bird charm for an extra special touch.

Happy crafting!

Adorable! And looks so easy to make. I think I have some robin's egg blue beads that would look especially darling.

Thanks for sharing.
