Don’t settle for BORING crafts this spring season. Check us out! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

Today’s crafty idea is actually what I would call a “mixed media” craft. We have the craft foam element. We also have the cardstock and of course – we have the crinkle paper for the nest. It’s just a mix of FUN materials that are easy to find, merging together for a nice spring themed DIY.

So let’s SMASH some random things together and make a beautiful bird themed masterpiece together!

Mixed Media Craft Foam Nesting Bird Supplies:

• Colored Cardstock
• Craft Foam Egg Shape {Michaels}
• Gold/Brown Crinkle Paper {Dollar Tree}
• Scissors
• Tacky Glue or School Glue
• Wiggle Eyes
• Colorful Craft Feathers
• Any other embellishments you see fit

Directions:

• First things first, adhere your CRAFT FOAM EGG SHAPE to the center of a single sheet of cardstock.
• Next up is the embellishments to give the egg shape the look of a bird. Add wiggle eyes, craft feathers, cardstock nose etc.
• Now it’s time for the bird’s nesting materials. Put a good amount of glue on the bottom of the cardstock, covering a portion of the bird’s body as well. Lay a good layer of crinkle paper on top, flattening it with your hand several times so it sticks.
• Once the nesting is down, add any other embellishments you see fit. Maybe you want to add some glitter or a pretty bow. Whatever the heart desires!
• When done, set aside your masterpiece to let it dry completely!
