Make a Jewelry Wire Bird Nest
by heather
I love these little wire bird nests found over at Just Something I Made. Cathe Holden graciously provides a tutorial for making them, so now you can make your own nests to adorn rings, necklaces, or other projects. [click here for the wire bird nest tutorial]
You can find what you need to make these pretty nests at the dollar store. I have found various materials for jewelry making at my local Dollar Tree, including pearl-like beads and wire. You can even find needle-nosed pliers and wire cutters if you don’t already own some. I love that you can make jewelry with dollar store stuff without investing a ton of money (raise your hand if you’ve dropped more than you meant to at the craft or bead store on jewelry-making stuff! Good, I’m not alone!)
Project Estimate:
- Pearl-like beads, $1
- 24 gauge wire, $1
- Pliers, wire-cutters, on hand or $1 each
Total: $2 and up

That is just adorable! I can’t wait to try one. I can think of so many way to use it. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE THIS!!!
Personally, I think you should run a contest: How much have you spent at the Dollar Store? I think I may be a contender!
There’s no word for how much I like this! I can’t wait to try it out. I’ve been hoarding every color of wire the dollar store carries, and now I know what to do with it!
OMG! These little nests are fabulous! I love playing with bead and wite and I always need more bird’s nests on my tree – so guess what!? Making these is on my “short term” to do list! Easter is coming! Great for the Easter tree too! Thank you so much for linking to the tutorial.
