20 minute crafter-wire bird nest pendants!

I thought I would whip up a little tutorial for these sweet little nests...because they are much easier than you think and Mother's Day is just around the corner.  Make one for your ma, grandma and all your girlfriends.  :) 

You can use any and all color of beads and wire.  

Here is what you need:
20-22 gauge wire-both produce a little different look
small beads that will fit on your wire
wire pliers (that is not what they are called is it?  but that is what comes to mind so I am going with it)
a round object that is roughly the size you will want of the INSIDE of your nest...a spoon handle, marker or something like that.  

Leaving a 2-3in tail start to wrap your round object with wire...

Wrap around lots of times...15 or so depending on the gauge of your wire...or whatever suits your fancy...

 ...slide the wire off when you are done wrapping...

 ...use your little tail to wrap around the nest once to hold everything together...cut the other tail (still attached to the wire supply) down to 6-8in...

...add your beads...

 ...curl the ends in with your pliers to hold them on there...

...curl that wire around the cozy them down in the nest...

...start to wrap your nest...around and around...

...in and through...

...when your long tail is down to 3-4in it's time to make loop for hanging...

...straighten it UP...

...fold it down...

...twist...

...and then continue to wrap around the nest if need be...then tuck the end into the nest.  Be sure to hide the end of the wire well so it won't snag clothes or skin!

...and you are done.  Go make some for every lady you know!!
