DIY Dried Natural Easter Nest
Nests are spring’s intricate masterpiece, the female bird being the architect. Somehow she crafts twigs, grass, leaves, and other found trimmings, weaving them together with such attention and detail to provide a sturdy base for cradling her most precious treasure.
As you saw last week, we migrated three tables using different color palettes from the feathers of birds. This week, we will show you how to handcraft your own nest, using dried naturals, creating a perfect addition to your tablescape, mantel, or kitchen counter. It would also make a lovely basket filled with Easter goodies to gift someone special.
