Mama Bird Necklaces

I finally got around to making some of these adorable Mama Bird Necklaces that I found via Pinterest.

I made my mom, and both SIL's one and added to their gifts for Christmas (of course I made myself one too!).  My little sister had already seen mine and loved it, so  I made her one using the same idea, but instead of making it a "nest" I just did loose loops around one bead.  I loved it so much I made myself a pair of earrings that matched her necklace.   They were a big hit and everyone loved them.  So easy and inexpensive to make!  I used 8mm pearls, although 6mm probably would have been easier for my moms which required 6 beads.
