Last year I made some Christmas tree ornaments from nature and loved seeing their simple, natural faces on our tree. I decided that the next year I would strive for a tree glowing, all most entirely, with nature's beauty! I have had so much fun planning some nature inspired ornaments over the last weeks and look forward to sharing them with you as they come to life!
Here is my first
~ An acorn birds nest ~
To craft these wee wonders you will need
Acorn caps
Small beans (we used soy)
Moss
Glue gun and glue
Robin blue paint
String
To begin paint your beans blue
Tip ~ I discovered that by painting on tinfoil, it keeps the beans from sticking as they dry.
Next put a dab of glue inside your acorn top and add the moss
Add your eggs with a dab of glue on each
With your glue gun draw a fine line of glue across the bottom of the acorn and up the sides. Carefully place your string into the glue and tie at the top to hang.
Oh the magic in miniatures...
For now our wise winter wizard is caring for our nest until the tree arrives.
May all your preparations in this season be filled with peace
~ Shanti ~
I love these so much! I think I might have to make some for family. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! So cute. I have been thinking about making Acorn inspired pottery recently.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Such a great idea! I'll have to see about making some of those for our Spring nature table. (:
ReplyDeleteThese are darling! They're signature Shanti creations for sure. And I can't recall if I said this before, but your Advent Stick creations are gorgeous and inspired. The kids are going to LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteHugs...
Magical!

ReplyDeleteWhat tiny treasures these are! Thanks for sharing the instructions!!!

ReplyDeleteWow, this is just about the sweetest little tree decoration I have ever seen!! Your creativity never ceases to inspire, I will try making some of these for our tree. Thank you for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is so enchanting, I think it should be made into jewellery to wear every day. I might just steal the idea! :) I bet little nest earrings would put a smile on the face of pretty much every woman (and girl) I know. Thanks for inspiring me!
ReplyDeletesimply breathtaking
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful little nest! I love it!

May I just complain about how LUCKY some people are who can go wandering out of the house and come back with acorns? Hmmm? LUCKY!!!! Now I'm disgruntled.
ReplyDeletethat is the cutest little nest!! i cant wait to make this with my kids!!!
ReplyDeleteUnquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on
ReplyDeletethe web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that
they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top
and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
