Birds nest...

derekandtiffani

AAW Brides are pretty crafty. Maybe someone has an answer to this! I'm planning a lovebird themed wedding and I'd like to do little birds nest with candy inside @ each place setting. Any suggestions on how I can make them? I know I'd start with pine straw but after that I'm lost! How do I make them stay together? Should I spray them with something to make them hard? If so, what? Thanks in advance!

No ideas, but that is a CUTE idea! Good luck and bring back pictures when you finish!

Thanks ladies! I need a lot so I wanted to make them. But the websites have the sizes that I want. Cicy - the website you sent had the largest size and the cheapest price I've seen so far. BUT I cannot image spending $200 on nests! WTH! Maybe I can do them at every other place setting. hmmm...... This wedding planning will be the death of me.... :-)

Try using them for centerpieces and putting feathers on each place setting.
