Here's the bead I used for all of them. On that I tied 7
pieces of cotton twine - put an end thru the bead, pull the ends even, knot tight against the bead, so you have 14 threads below.  On the inner 6, I tied straws and beads (not shown).  The outer 4 on each side, I just 'unraveled' so they got that twisty look.
Large Plastic Bead
Cotton Twine
For the center, and to tie them  to the cage:  
8 pieces of cotton twine (more or less depending on how thick but I used 8) bundled together with a knot in the middle (see first picture). Take all of the ends except two (to tie it on with) and put them  thru the bead (I taped mine together with clear tape to shove them  thru)
In the second picture you see, on the right, the 14 strings coming out of the bead... On the left, the knot that was in the middle and the two strings you left behind.  
Third picture, flip it over, tie a knot in the strings on THIS side of the bead and trim and unravel them as well.    Use the two remaining strings to either tie them to the cage or attach something to do that with.

MAKE SURE TO TRIM STRINGS TO AVOID POSSIBLE STRANGULATION!
