    Quick Project Steps

    1. Cut a 3 foot piece of 24 gauge Potomac Craft Wire and add on your 3-4 beads in 6mm or 8mm. 2. Create a triangle with your beads by twisted the wire together and then wrap the remaining wire around the outside of the beads. Continue to watch the Bird's Nest Earring video to see the exact amount of wire to leave on each end of the initial triangle. 3. When you have 1 inch of wire remaining, simply curl the ends around the short wire at the top. Make a coiled eye pin at the top of the pendant/earring to create a bail. Add an ear wire to the loop or a leather-finished necklace.
