Bird's Nest with Branches

Bring the beauty of spring into your home with this lovely arrangement.

Tools and Materials
Quince branches
Vase
Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
Dyed quail egg
Bird's nest
Decorative birds
20-gauge floral wire
Wire cutters

Bird's Nest How-To
1. Begin by arranging quince branches in a vase.

2. Affix dyed quail eggs into the bird's nest with hot glue. Attach a decorative bird to the edge of the nest with hot glue.

3. Bend 20-gauge floral wire in half, into an upside down U. Poke both ends of wire through bottom of nest. Attach the bird's nest to branch with the floral wire by wrapping wires around branch. Twist the wires together, and clip off the excess using wire cutters. Press the twisted wires against branch.

4. Glue birds to branches, if desired, by applying hot glue to bottom of a bird and affixing it to a branch.

Resources
Quince may be found at your local florist or garden supplier. Bird's nests are available at Tinsel Trading. Decorative birds are available at your local crafts store. Quail eggs are available at the Feathered Egg.
