I made this crows nest from moss and a plastic flower pot. I got a bunch of crows from the Dollar Store so this was really inexpensive. I am using crows all over the house this year and am having a lot of fun with it.
Materials:
- plastic flower pot
- moss
- crows (Mine are from the Dollar Store)
Step 1.
Take a big bunch of moss and press it down into the pot. Push it down in the center to make the shape of a nest.
Step 2.
I hot glued the first crow on the rim of the pot. I added a second crow to the top and then put one more at the base of the pot as shown.
Step 3.
I found these great black acorns out in the woods by my house so I put them in the nest.
I love this idea! My crafty project last Halloween was one of those “upside-down hanging mummies” that can cost around $60 in a party store. I used Black garbage bags filled with recylables (a Plasic gallon-sized millk jug for the head, two coffee cans for the shoulders, and crumpled newspapers for filling in the body. Tied them together with clear shipping tape I had, and bought dollar-store spider web and sheese cloth to wrap him with. Finishing touch? A dollar- bag of plastic spiders crawling all over. Total cost: $10ish.
That sounds like a fun project! I can’t wait till Halloween!
