Fold origami birds (instructions.) Puncture holes into their tops.
Push wire (I used 0.8 mm) through hole.
Cut wire at desired length (about 50cm in my case, with one bird attached at each end).
Play with wire (fun!).
Figure out how to knot the wires together at the top (hint: crafting pliers help!).
Try really hard to shape the wire into something curvy and beautiful.
Give up after 5 minutes and decide that "kind of funky" works just great for you!

PS.
A bucket chandelier.
Heritage in a box.
DIY coffee table.
Got a leftover glove?
... Can you find my picture among all of these?
