Materials

  • Grapevines
  • Wire
  • Chicken wire
  • Sphagnum moss
  • Sheet Moss
  • Sisal or natural basket filler
  • Branches twigs, etc from outside.
  • Spray adhesive

Instructions

  • Largest Bird Nest
  • Start with some grapevine and wrap it around to create a small wreath about 6 inches.
  • Wrap three pieces of black wire to the wreath, intersecting underneath to make a bottom for the nest.
  • Pack in some sphagnum moss or sheet moss inside.
  • Use some spray adhesive to attach pieces of moss to the sides or top if you like.

  • Medium Bird Nest
  • Use chicken wire as the base. Form the chicken wire into a cup, turning in or under any sharp edges.
  • Add a filler.
  • I used some natural sisal.
  • Gather some branches from shrubs, more grapevines, and fresh moss.
  • Use different moss and the spray adhesive to cover spots where the wire is showing.
  • Small Bird Nest
  • Use a cardboard egg carton cells as the base. Paint it green to help them blend in.
  • Add a small grapevine wreath on the top edge.
  • The egg carton is decorated with moss using the spray adhesive to ensure it stays in place.
  • Add small speckles eggs for a fun look.
