How To Make A Small Birdnest...

I bought these very cute ceramic eggs...

and I needed a little nest to put them in to keep them safe...

I searched many a tree trying to find a used nest, but to no avail.

So I decided to make one.

I collected some moss, dried grass, coconut fibre and a few feathers.

First I moulded a small bowl out of airdry clay.

This is to give the nest a bit of weight, 

and also helps with the structure.

Put some coconut fibre into the clay bowl.

Then wove some around the outside.

Add some grass, moss and feathers...

Weave the stick out bits into the mix to help hold it together,

I wanted this nest to sit on top of this silver milk jug...

So I kept manipulating the grass and fibre until I was happy with the shape,

 and it sat nicely in the jug.  

Then added  the eggs...

  These darlings are from Myfawny Pughs Studio.

Isn't the aqua colour simply gorgeous?

This DIY faux bird nest completed my Easter sideboard display...

Silverware, nests, eggs candles and rabbits...

I'm loving my Easter Vignette!

A SIMPLE Easter With Feathers Decor Idea...

If you are anything like me -

LIFE IS BUSY!

I just don't have time for elaborate and complicated Celebration decor displays.

So I whipped up a super easy one for the coffee table using paper feathers for Easter.

You will need:

A feather template

Pretty papers in colours of your choice.

Scissors and pencil.

An Easter rabbit ornament.

A large white platter...

and some Easter eggs.

A table runner in complimentary colours.

And a small potted flower plant -

(I used a white gerbera in a white ceramic pot).

Gerbera's are a favourite of mine!

Cut out the feather templates.

Place on the pretty paper and trace around them using a pencil.

Cut the feathers out.

Make as many feathers as your heart desires.

Use the edge of a ruler to place a fold as shown.
Then:

Place the runner on the coffee table.

Centre the large platter.

Place the Rabbit ornament on the plate.

Place the paper feathers around it with the Easter eggs.

Add the potted plant.

And you have an easy Easter Vignette.

Pretty...

Cute...

And so easy to create.

 Copy & Paste the template to your computer to print.
