It’s no secret that I’m a fan of birds. I’ve been collecting bird things, including live ones in my yard, for some time now. I wanted to bring some of that bird-love inside so I made a pretty little hanging nest.

I found the little nest in the floral department of a craft store. I threaded a big eye needle with colored raffia and ribbon and wound it through the nest. I added some flowers and some decorative trim for hanging and topped it all off with a bow. I could see making just a bunch of these to cover the tree.

Alas,  I’m already on to the next project.

Enjoy.

    Just wanted to thank you for the fabulous yo-yos and book pages that I won from you. The fabrics for the yo-yos are just perfect for my scrapping style.
    Love the bird’s nest.
    thanks again,
    Chris
