Instructions
Prep the grapevine by cutting it into smaller sections and possibly soaking over night
Take a section of grapevine and create a circle to make the basic shape of your nest
Secure the grapevine using either wire or a ziptie
Tuck in loose pieces of grapevine, continuing to create a circular nest shape. Break off the pieces of grapevine that are too stiff or thick to tuck in.
Add moss to create the bottom of the nest and add some color. Use dots of hot glue to secure if necessary.
Using hot glue, add extra twigs, foraged leaves and bits of moss to disguise any wires or zip ties.
Create an indent in the middle of the nest for an egg to sit in
Notes
Style with eggs, in a bird cage, under a cloche or tucked in with some terra cotta pots.
