This week, in between trips out in the snow and watching snowflakes float down out the window (how exciting!) Yashar and I made these little nests. I was surprised at how long these kept Yashar busy and entertained! Which was great because we haven't been able to get outside as much as usual.
This is what we did it:
1. I collected up various bits and pieces that I thought a bird might like! Some blue paper, ribbon, string and buttons. I also had some rafia that a present had come packed in and some old Turkish stamps that I had bought a while ago for some artwork I was doing.
2. I put all the pieces in this egg carton to make it easy for Yashar to choose what he wanted to put on and I put out some thick paper for each of us.3. Then we got the glue stick out and together put some glue in a nest shape on the paper. Then Yashar and I got busy sticking all the little pieces on our nests. To stick the buttons on we used a little pieces of double sided sticky tape.
ps. thank you for the lovely emails and comments you made about Fridays post. I loved hearing from you and am looking forward to continuing the conversation soon!
