I made these bead wrapped pendants last year. I was inspired by the wire wrapped birds nest pendant. These pendants are fun to make and they turn out quite nice. Mix and match different beads to make a unique looking bead wrapped pendant :)

I made these bead wrapped pendants last year. I was inspired by the wire wrapped birds nest pendant. These pendants are fun to make and they turn out quite nice. Mix and match different beads to make a unique looking bead wrapped pendant :)

Instructions

  1. Small 101759 2f2014 05 15 074707 picmonkey%2bcollage2

    Take a long piece of wire, I took 24 inches. Thread 3-4 beads into the wire and thread any one of the last beads from both sides.

    Now, as the wire is divided into two parts, insert 2 or 3 more beads in each side. Similarly thread any one of the last beads from both sides.

    Now start wrapping the threaded beads with the wire. Make sure to wrap the beads evenly all around.

    When you're done wrapping the beads, take a small amount of wire to coil the wire nest 3-4 times from inside out. I coiled the wire nest 4 times.

    After you're done coiling the wire nest attach a jump ring with it to complete the pendant. Enjoy! ^_^
