Spring/Easter Birds Nest Wreath

My mom and I went to Michael's yesterday to pick up a few things when I saw the cutest little birds and little mini eggs. Instantly I was inspired to make something with them. So I made 2 mini spring wreaths. They came out so cute and it was so easy to make. I hope this inspires you to create something of your own!

Here is what you will need: 

Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue

2 mini wreaths:









1 bag assorted types of moss:












1 bag of mini eggs and mini birds:

A few bunches of assorted colored flowers:
(I bought green, white, purple, blue and pink)
Now your ready to start your project.

First plug in your hot glue gun so it can warm up. If you have never used a hot glue gun before please be careful, the glue is very hot and will burn you if it gets on your skin. I have been using a hot glue gun for years and only been burned twice, the second one was last night haha!! So I have a nice blister on my finger. But if you would rather not use a hot glue gun you can always use regular craft glue, it may take a little longer as you have to wait for the glue to dry between steps.


Start by gluing the moss to the wreaths:




Then cut some flowers off the stems and arrange some extra moss as a bed for the flowers:



Now your almost done!

Add a nest out of the red moss, the mini eggs and birds and your all set.
 The last thing I added was a ribbon so I could hang it on the wall. You could use a small but sturdy wire or you could just hang the wreath on a nail using some of the branches on the back side.


Now your all done and you have a cute spring decoration that you made. I hope you like it!
