Nesting Earrings Tutorial

This project is a great way to get started with wire, because it's very free form, and a bit of messiness is not only ok, it's actually recommended!
Use your favorite oval beads - they can be pearls, gemstones, glass, or make your own from polymer clay! Our Swarovski rice pearls are about 3x4mm.

Designer Tips

See Rings & Things' blog for basic instructions on How To Make A Wire Bird Nest.
With some of your extra wire, create a loop for hanging the nest, and wrap the loop for security.
Twist open the ear wire loop, add nest's loop, and securely close the ear wire loop.
