Bird's nest charm

Yesterday I went to Sham Shui Po and found an amazing street filled with craft stores. They mostly sold beads, jewellery clasps, ribbons, wire, and chord, and everything was so cheap. I made this cute little charm in about 10 minutes by following this tutorial.



 Materials:
- 3 beads of your choice
- flexible wire ( I used 6mm)

1) Put 3 beads on your wire and tuck the end into the first bead so you have a little triangle.

2) Continue to wrap the wire around your bunch of beads until the nest is as thick as you like it. You can go in and around the beads as well to secure them. Then make a little loop with the wire at the top and make a few circles around the top until it's secure.
3) To make this into a necklace you could just attach a jump ring to the loop and put it on a chain.
