Welcome in spring with your own version of a nest wreath. Just like a little bird we gathered odds and ends from around our house and yard to create ours.

Materials:

• Grape vine wreath
• Ribbon, enough to wrap your wreath
• Small gauge wire
• Eggs. We used large brown chicken, blue bantam chicken, and white goose eggs on ours.
• Acrylic paint in robbin’s egg blue, white, and black
• Assorted feathers
• Assorted flowers

Tools:

• Paint brush
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Poke holes in the top and bottom of your egg and blow out contents (save for a scrambled egg breakfast).
2. Using about 8” of wire, thread it through the two holes in your eggs and twist together under the eggs.
3. Paint your eggs. We painted some of the chicken eggs teal and left the other eggs natural.
4. Splatter paint your eggs. We used black spatters on the goose eggs and white splatters on the brown chicken eggs.
5. Wrap wreath with ribbon.
6. Attach eggs to wreath with free ends of wire.
7. Tuck feathers and flowers around the wreath.
