Re-Nesting A Nest

I found this nest in among the Easter decor at Tuesday Morning.  I don’t know about you, but it gave me flashbacks to the 80’s and the silk flowers used on wreaths then.

I also found this burlap bag of speckled eggs.  Hmmm.  So, I bought both because I saw that this nest could, indeed, be saved.

The first thing I did was rip out the fake plants.  It’s looking better already!

 

I took some of the speckled eggs and put them in the nest.  I then took a black and white wired ribbon I had and, using the point of my scissors, started pushing it in to the grapevine of the nest leaving some loops.  The ribbon can be easily removed if I want to replace it with another or add something completely different.

Redone, it sits on top of a Goodwill urn that I had spray painted black {that urn held a white feather boa tree for Christmas} and that was just waiting for something to prop up!  I think it needs a little moss, which I’ll have to pick up on my next trip to Michaels.
