How To Make Bird Nest Art In 5 Steps
Step 1:
First, paint the frame if you’d like to change the color.
Step 2:
Glue your piece of scrapbook paper to the cardstock or chipboard using Mod Podge. Then smooth it out really well by pressing down with another sheet of paper.
Step 3:
Next form a bird nest with the American moss/excelsior and then hot glue the small bird nest down into it. (Side note…did you see the Speckled Egg Wreath DIY I made?! I used this same moss and it turned out so cute!)
Step 4:
Once that is dry, hot glue the “stacked” bird nests onto the scrapbook paper backing.
Step 5:
To finish it up, place it back into the frame to complete your bird nest art and craft.

How To Style Layered Wall Art
Layering wall art, books, and frames when decorating a shelf or mantle is a great way to add texture, depth, and interest. Don’t you just love the texture and depth it adds to this antique mantle? I originally planned to print off some photos of the kids to put here, but my printer wasn’t working and we were in the middle of snow storm. So I decided to get creative and work with what I had. Isn’t this such a cute cottage home decor idea?!
Aren’t those vintage books beautiful?! Those are from my sweet friend Jamie and you can see all of her beautiful vintage book stacks here!
