5 Minute Egg Nest Necklace

Hi everyone! Did you all have a great Christmas? We did! But I'm kinda glad it's over. It's always so hectic around the holidays.

So! Today I want to share with you this sweet little necklace I made. It literally takes like, 5 minutes once you get the hang of it! I ended up spray painting the pearls light blue, and they chipped a little when working with them. But I kinda like them like that!


 Ok, here we go! 


Supplies Needed:

+Floral Wire
+Needle Nose Pliers
+Jump Rings
+Wide Marker
+Circle Beads


Take your wire, and wrap it around the marker. I used this highlighter because I liked the width of it; it makes for a good sized nest! 

After wrapping the floral wire around the marker several times, remove the wire carefully, leaving about 4 inches extra before cutting from spool. Then thread the wire around the nest a few times to secure one side. 



Thread a bead through, and then wrap the wire around the opposite end a few times to secure the bead. If you run out of wire, just start a new one and repeat process for each bead you want in the nest (in my case, it was 4).

Then I attached a jump ring to string the necklace through, and voila! You have a cute little egg nest necklace!! Easy Peasy RIGHT?!





LOVIN' IT!
