Make a bird’s nest out of a paper bag…

I had a great, little Easter craft planned for this morning, (I’ll share it in a later post), but I was stumped about one part of it:  how to make an easy bird’s nest.  I’d  thought about it for a couple of days – we could use shredded paper or cooked and dried spaghetti, or maybe even Easter grass, but none of those ideas were really wowing me.  Then, when I was pulling out some supplies for the other part of the craft (the one that I’ll blog about later), it came to me.  We could make paper bag nests!  And so we did!

This is super easy to do!  All you need is a paper bag and a pair of scissors.

Cut the top off your paper bag leaving 3 or 4 inches of the bottom part of the bag to work with.

Now, taking care so you don’t rip the bag, kind of fold/roll the edge of the bag outward.

Continue to loosely roll the bag until you get to the bottom, and then just kind of scrunch it here and there to shape your nest.

That’s all there is to it.  Beats the pants of cooking and drying a batch of spaghetti doesn’t it?

Be sure to check back in tomorrow to see what we put in our paper bag nests!
