Birds Nest

     Last week we told you how to make a bird nesting wreath so that the birdies will have a good source of nesting materials. If you are tired of waiting for the birds to make their nests then we thought this would be the next best thing. They are fun to make with your children but be sure to supervise them because this project uses hot melt glue.

Here's what you'll need:

Excelsior
Small Clothes Pin
Hot melt glue
A small craft store bird.
Plastic bird eggs or candy but the candy won't last very long out doors.

Wad up a bunch of excelsior into the shape of a birds nest.
Hot melt glue a small clothes pin on the bottom.
Hot melt glue the feet of the bird onto the excelsior.
Add the eggs and you are done.

These really look nice on the plants around the house. Be advised that if you put them outside the birds will probably haul away the excelsior for more nesting material.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
