Paper bird nests

Just sharing some things I've been working on this week.
I saw this idea in Country Living magazine and loved it,
so I got busy crafting and getting messy
with shredded paper and glue.


shredded paper mache bird nests



some with vintage sheet music


and an Alabaster dove
{This one is sold . . . thank you, Vyanna :) }

how about pink?

with a cute little sheet music bird ornament

    What a great idea! Did you use a bowl for a mold? I need to get my paper shredder out for this one!
    Thank you!

    I tried making some of these last Spring and mine didn't turn out anywhere near as cute as yours. Love that pink one. You should put it on Pink Saturday tomorrow. :)

    Hi Julie! What fun to decorate blue eggs! I only had little ones so I couldn't! The blue eggs aren't so easy to find, either!! Can't wait to see yours! No need to link to me! I've gathered bits of inspiration from all over, and take no personal credit unless I know for sure it is a totally custom design! You're too sweet, though!! So glad to meet you!

    Have a delightful weekend!!

    Those bird nests surely make a good table centerpiece. This is definitely a fantastic project. My wife would surely love to make one of these.
