DIY Book Page Bird Nest

Isn’t it a beautiful Spring day?  I am in California helping my mom recover from a hip replacement surgery.  She is slowly recovering, but doing really well.  I am enjoying the green hills and the birds singing while I am here.  And, of course the quality time I am having with my mom. I am also excited to spend Easter with some of our sweet grand kiddos.

If you know me, you know I like vintage and book pages, right?  Well, I have the ideal book page bird nest for your Easter table or for anytime of year.  This is MY version of a DIY Book Page Bird Nest.

Isn’t it sweet?

Let me share with you how I made my book page bird nest.

Using a few vintage book pages and my shredder scissors, I had the beginning of a bird nest.

My next step was to wrap a bowl with plastic wrap.  I wrapped my bowl loosely, but you could do it tighter if you like.

You can also make various sizes if you choose.

I loosely lined my bowl with the book page strips.

I had a mixture of half Elmer’s glue and half water ready to apply to my book page strips.

Using a sponge brush, I lightly moistened the book page strips.  Until almost the whole “nest” was wet.

I set my bowl outside to dry in the warm sun.

It did not take long before it was almost dry.  I carefully peeled the bird nest away from the plastic wrap.

I am very pleased with my DIY Book Page Bird Nest.  They are ideal for any Easter table setting, or just to have as décor in your home anytime of year.

I KNOW I will be making more book page bird nests in the very near future.  How about you?

 

You could make a variety of sizes, shapes and even colors.

Thanks for joining me today while I shared a small thing that makes me smile.

Make it a terrific day!
