Little Bird's Nest ornament


Today is day 8 of 24 days of handmade ornaments.  This one couldn't be easier.  Head to Michael's or Joann's and pick up a little birdnest, fake birds, some small eggs and some natural looking Holiday picks.




I added a little glitter to the eggs.

Then I hot glued everything into the nest.


For the tags I used this K and Company bird kit.  Wouldn't this be a great collage?  It made such cute little cards.


I used the paper to make mats for a framed picture too... more on that later.  Have a great day!

    I love this for Spring! Hey btw Jenni do you want some pheasant feathers? I have a bunch and don't know what to do with them. Let me know and I will drop them off.

    Such lovely nests and cards! And for some reason, I just love that picture of you adding glitter to the eggs!
