Wire bead jewelry-one of the funniest Easter craft ideas
Last updated Mar 12, 2013

Summary: This tutorial aims to introduce you one piece of pretty wire bead jewelry; within the 3 brief steps you will experience the awesome Easter craft ideas.

Although bird nest necklace has been already trendy for a long while, it is my first time to think about it being one of Easter craft ideas. Realization of the wire bead jewelry piece is an interesting thing to do.

What you’ll need for the necklace:

0.8mm brass wire

11mm imitation pearl acrylic beads

2mm iron chain

Jump rings

Clasp

Round nose plier

The full instructions:

Step 1: thread beads on

1st, drag one end of the wire out of spool and bead 3 beads on;

2nd, back the end through the first bead, shaping it a triangle look;

3rd, wrap the rest wire around “triangle” as many times as you desire;

Step 2: secure the nest from loosening

1st, wrap wire around the space between each 2 beads; so the piece is more like a bird nest;

2nd, tangle the rest wire with previous wrapped ones and make a loop at the back;

3rd, cut off excess brass wire and tuck the end.

Step 3: end up the Easter necklace

1st, Snip a proper length of iron chain and attach nest onto its center by jump ring;

2nd, add clasp onto ends of chain.

Now the tutorial of wire bead jewelry is done; there are many Easter craft ideas, such as Easter carrot wreath, beaded Easter egg, stuffed fabric bunny and more. Only if you are determined to conceive and implement, you will harvest not only the cute items, but also a lot of fun.
