Bird's Nests
Here is a great spring project! We made these last year around Easter time during the Downtown BIA 's (Business Improvement Association) annual Easter Egg Hunt.
Quite a lot of people came out to build a nest and that was great because they were quick, easy and fun. We set up in the lobby of the Campbell River Art Gallery for easy access and clean up. This project would be great to do outside.
I gathered long dried grasses, green moss, and dried branches with dead flower heads.
Simply take a handful of grass and twist it while shaping it into a circle and then twist the ends together and tuck them into the nest. Do this again, making a smaller circle, and insert it into the larger one. Pull and tuck the grass to form a beautiful nest.
Place some moss in the bottom and decorate with dried flowers. Its as easy at that!
Place some egg shaped rocks into your nest to represent robins eggs. Or set it out in your garden for the birds to use.
Beautiful!!
This year the egg hunt takes place at Ostler Park on March 26. Check it out. We will be making tissue paper flowers at the gallery.
