$10 Tuesday - Nesting Ornament

It's not all jewelry here at the Art Bead Scene, we love to create using art beads wherever we can! Today, I'm sharing a holiday ornament that you can create for under $10. These would make nice little gifts or hang a few on your tree.

Supplies:

Cardinal Art Bead (Humblebeads)

Gunmetal wire coin/nest

2" gunmetal chain

2" gunmetal eye pin

1" gunmetal eye pin

2 nickel seed beads

1 red 8mm faceted red glass bead

3 burgundy 6mm pearls

2 silver 5mm flat spacers

7" red ribbon

Directions

1. On the 2" eye pin string a silver spacer, the bird and a silver spacer. Trim the wire to a 1/4", use round nose pliers to form a loop.

2. Attach bottom loop to the wire nest. Push the 3 pearls into the nest by moving the wire slightly to open. Push the wire back to close the opening.

3. On the 1" eye pin string a seed bead, glass bead and a seed bead. Trim wire to a 1/4", use round nose pliers to form a loop. Attach to the top of the bird.

4. Attach the chain to the top loop of the glass component. Tie a ribbon on the end of the other end of the chain to create a loop for hanging.
