This weekend's theme:

~ bird and nest inspired projects ~

Birds make nests in WAY more places than just trees. I'm a farmer's daughter and have watched them nest in the strangest of places all my life.

And a nest isn't always perfect like the kind you buy. Some are a real tossed salad of odds and sods.

How to build your own nest
Funky Junk style



Supplies:

Anything nest like. And stuff birds may find.



Plus real cracked open egg shells. Really. Chickens are birds too, right?

(Michael's is an hour away... what can I say)



And a base of your choice. Then go have fun!




The cracked open odd sized shells were perfect to give an embedded look. And they're super light too. :)


Remember, birds are MESSY.


Here's a leaf and twine variation.


And you KNOW this has to be my favorite. :)

We just won't discuss how a monstrous chicken got in that lantern. Some nests deserve abit of mystery...


To prove my point about the non perfect nest, here's a real one.
Remember where this was found?


See? Messy.


My boy went real hungry that summer. :)
