First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.

Reserve one for this craft {or use both today by repeating the steps TWICE.}

Now grab the brown tissue paper and scissors.

Cut your brown tissue paper into small squares.

Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate half from earlier.

Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the plate is completely covered.

Set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry COMPLETELY.

Now grab your wooden clothespins, the Sharpie markers, cardstock paper and craft feathers.

First start off by gluing ONE craft feather to your clothespin. Repeat for each clothespin.

Next up - grab the cardstock and scissors.

Cut out a small circle that will be the "baby bird's" head. Repeat for each clothespin.

Use the Sharpie markers to draw on eyes and a beak.

Now you are going to glue the circle piece to the feather decorated clothespin. Again, repeat these steps for each clothespin bird you want to add to your paper plate nest.

When done decorating the clothespins, set aside each piece to allow them to dry COMPLETELY before moving on.

To finish off the craft {remember it ALL have to be completely dry} simply PINCH each decorated clothespin to the tissue paper covered paper plate.

Add anything else you see fit and display it proudly for ALL to see!
