Supplies:
Bird pendant
1 branch disk bead
1 faceted glass 8mm bead
2 brass 4mm jumprings
Brass chain
1 brass eyepin
2 copper spacers
2″ brass color 18 gauge wire
2 1/2″ of 6mm wire mesh ribbon
3″ of 1mm wire mesh ribbon
Directions:
1. Attach the bird pendant to the chain using jumpring.
2. On the eyepin string the spacer, disk, spacer and glass bead. Trim and create a loop. Attach the eyepin to the center of the chain.
3. Create a wire hook with the wire. I used a wooden dowel to create the hook. Attach to the top of the eyepin.
4. Tie the 6mm wire mesh ribbon through the bottom of the hook. Pull it apart to create a ‘leaf’ and twisted the ends to finish off the form. Tie the other wire mess on and pull it quickly between your fingernails to create a “ribbon curl”.
Supplies: You can find the brass items at Ornamentea, wire mesh ribbon at Bello Modo and the disk bead from Humblebeads.
