A Sad Attemp at Making a Paper Bird Nest


Taking a Play Break!

Lord I was having such a hard time today
staying on task that I finally just took a break
to make something.....
I just wanted to make something, anything LOL!
 
I had bought some bird eggs long while back
with the thought
of making my own birds nest.
I always love to try making things myself.
 
I had all this shredded book page paper sitting
here from making angel wings, and....
I had this thought to make a nest out of them.
So......I did!
 
Now I had planned on mixing some moss and twigs 
with the shredded paper, but before I wasted all that,
I thought I would see if how I had planned
on doing it in my mind, would work first.
 
So I got out my stiff stuff, and the shredded
paper, soaked the paper, then shaped it like a nest.
I then plopped it over the top of a bottle and let it
dry over night. And it worked...it was stiff as a
board and it looked like a nest...kinda a sorta anyway!
I added the little blue eggs and I thought.....not bad!
 
 
 
Then I put it in my cupcake glass dome....
 
 
and then thought...it needs a bird too!
 
 
I had the perfect sweetie to sit on the eggs
and she was just the right size!
 
Well kinda....I need to make a bigger nest
I think....but now that I see the paper and
stiff stuff was going to do what I wanted,
I'll make a bigger one with the moss, twigs and paper!
 
We'll see how that comes out!
Not to bad for a first time around idea!
 
Well now that that is out of my system
it's back to my main focus working on my next
"GIVEAWAY!"
 
TaTa Till Later!
Hugs, Love, and Blessings!
