Hello, Diyers!
Today we are enjoying one of the natural beauties of Spring, the bird’s nest! If you have an abandoned nest on your property (please confirm first!) then you might consider using it as a piece of art in your home decorating. If you don’t want to disrupt one that you’ve found in nature, we’ve included plenty of tutorials on how to make one that looks realistic using many different materials. Which will you choose to do?!
Preserving a Bird’s Nest
First things first! If you are going to use a real bird’s nest (after you have confirmed that it is no longer in use by the bird family!), make sure that you cleanse it and preserve it properly. Here’s how to do it…
