How to Make a Wire Bird's Nest into a Brooch Tutorial

Posted: 20 Aug 2011 04:00 AM PDT

Some of you may remember my past post on the different ways to create wire and beads bird's nest jewelry. The designers approached making this either with one single length of wire or several lengths. They also applied the results to earrings, rings and craft items.

Well, here is yet another wonderful designer who wrote a great tutorial on how to make a wire bird's nest brooch. Zoraida's starting point is actually a spiral. She even explained how to create the pin back mechanism. The result is most artistic and does the hand made community proud.

Patchogue, New York based Zoraida said she used to look down at copper but has grown to love it, not just for the affordability but to "appreciate all of the colors and the malleability of this metal." You can see more of her designs on her Artfire store.
