Make Your Own Bird's Nest

 I have a decorative bird cage that I've had since I got married.

I wanted to use it in my spring decorating and thought a cute little bird's nest would be perfect in it.

I didn't want to spend very much money on the nest so I checked out my local Dollar Tree.  Unfortunately, I didn't find a bird's nest so I thought, why not make my own?

I was, after all, at the dollar store!

{I love how it turned out:}

Here's how I made the nest . . .

I bought a small glass bowl and two different kinds of decorative moss:

I started with the outside of the bowl.

I turned the bowl upside down and sprayed on some spray adhesive.  I took half of the bigger bag of moss (the moss on the right) and pressed it to the bowl.  

Then I turned the bowl over, sprayed the inside of it with the adhesive, and pressed the rest of the moss into the bowl.

I then took the green moss and just laid it in the nest:

There you have it!  Your own, $3.00 bird's nest!

I, of course, added some decorative elements to it:

{Found the little birdies at the dollar store, too!  The eggs were left over from a wreath I made . . . post coming soon!}

Remember how I said I wanted to put the nest inside my birdcage?

Well . . .

It was too big to go in the bottom!!!  So I just laid it in the top.  I think it still looks adorable.

I'm still playing around with how to display the birds . . .

I'm thrilled with how my $3.00 bird's nest turned out!
