The "eggs" for the nest are actually a repurposed vintage pearl earring. The pearls were already wired together, saving me the trouble. All I had to do was wrap the wire among and between the "eggs" to look like a nest. I also added silver and antique brass charms with the words "Believe" and "Grow." I ued a small single link antique brass chain and a decorative silver toggle clasp.
I don't think I'm totally happy with the type of wire I used, but it was all I had. Note to self ~ buy some thinner, more vintage looking wire for next time (I still have the other earring to repurpose, you know!) If you're a mad flea market maven like me you probably already have some similar earrings in your stash. Grab some wire, a chain and some charms and you're all set. Easy, peasy.
Hope you're all having a great week!
I'm also hanging here today
