Fall is in the air but I think a bird nest is a nice decorative touch no matter what the season. I typically display a bird’s nest in the spring when they’re naturally in season and home to a mama bird and her eggs.
I thought it would be fun to make a fall nest – temporarily abandoned and waiting for a new family in the spring.
The base of this nest is made out twine and paper mache paste. I made these rag and twine nests in the spring and you can get the instructions from my previous post here. Either of these nests work for any season.
To add an autumn feel to these nests, I added some moss, twigs and faux pussy willows. Use a glue gun and add bits of each element randomly around the nest.
I may fill this little nest with nuts and leaves or leave it empty until spring. Who knows, maybe a sweet bird will want to call it home.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
How cute this is! I would never have thought to do that.

I love the beauty and simplicity of bird's nests. Believe it or not I found one recently in an antique shop. It was nestled in an old wooden bowl. Needless to say, I scooped it up!
