This wreath is very simple to make using a birdnest and some artificial eggs.  The bird is made from canvas fabric and hot glue.  At holidays I take out the eggs and replace them with hearts for valentines day, shamrocks for St Patricks, candy corn for Halloween etc…  I also make extra birds so I can use a  cardinal for winter and a blackbird for Halloween.

Materials:

  • Grapevine wreath
  • bird nest
  • eggs
  • canvas fabric
  • paint 

Glue bird nest onto wreath and then add eggs.
