Building a Nest Tutorial

Getting in the spring mood, I thought I would share an easy tutorial on building a beautiful nest of your own. Needed ingredients: Crochet/Floss Needle Feathers Dried Grass (I found mine in the dried section of the craft store) Wool Dried Spanish Moss Start with a few strands of grass and make a circle. Make several grass circles.

Then take your needle and floss and start "stitching" the grass circles together. Do not pull too tightly.

Continue layering the grass circles so the grass ends come out from all sides of the nest. Continue securing it with floss and shape into a nest.

Add spanish moss and wool and secure in nest with glue. I used my trusty glue gun. If some of the grass hangs too far outside the nest, just pinch it off.

Now the fun part, adding your small treasures to your nest. I used vintage buttons and lace, feathers and Tim Holtz Film Strips, but add your own small treasures.. Let your imagination fly!

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.

Wishing you all a creative day!
