How To Make: Pearl Nest Pendant

Materials: 8" of 20 gauge copper wire cut into 2 even pieces, 10" of 22 gauge copper wire, around 10" of 28 gauge copper wire for attaching both pendant parts together, 12 faux pearl beads - size 3 mm

Tools: Round Nose Pliers, wire Cutters, Flat Nose PLiers

Step 1: Insert one bead onto the wire (one part of 20g wire), it should be in the middle of it, then create a drop shape

Step 2: Insert beads onto wires and create two small loops with beads inside them, then bend wires as shown in the photo

Step 3: Insert pearl beads onto the wires and create small loops at the ends. Trim wire if you need to

Step 4: Take second part of 20 gauge wire, create a loop then put 2 beads onto the wires and bend them as shown in the photo

Step 5: Put another two beads onto the wires and bend them closely to the beads

Step 6: Create loop shape at the end of the previous part by joining/bending two wires together (if you have too much wire you can trim it a little), then attach two pendant parts together by wrapping both parts with thin wire

Step 7: Take 22 gauge wire and insert bead onto it, then wrap wire around the base as shown in the photo

Step 8: Cross wires as shown in the photo and wrap them around the base

Step 9: Insert beads onto the wires and wrap them around the base, then trim wire which is left

Step 10: Bend the "hanging loop" perpendicular to the pendant. Add Chain. Your necklace is ready to wear!
