I have to tell you though, it’s pretty hard to mess up.

I think it was around $6 Canadian for the big bag, which, with the exchange rate, probably works out to roughly free in US dollars.. To make a nest, all you need to do is cut off a small blob of moss.About a handful should do the trick for most of your Easter nest needs..

It definitely can get a little messy, so work somewhere that you can sweep up easily..Hold your moss blob with your thumb in the middle and press down to start the indentation for the middle of the nest.. Keep  shaping the moss into a nest shape, almost as if you were working with clay.The little mossy fibers really grip onto each other with this stringy kind of moss and they really hold a shape nicely..

When you’re done, make some more!It only took me about 5 minutes to make enough for my whole table..

I only made 8, but I think I could probably get at least 12 nests out of a bag of moss, which makes this much cheaper than buying individual nests.. Plus, they’re super cute and exactly the kind of happy springy look that I was going for!.

Here’s a little peek at how they look on my table.This yellow and black plaid blanket is real wool!

Wool, plaid, and $5?You’re coming with me.
