papier mache easter nests

 

We are hosting Easter dinner this year. I have already started brain storming (and searching high and low for) my table decorations and place settings for the special day. I still not sure what I am going to do about the centerpiece (it may just be the ham, yum, yum!) but for each person’s place setting I am going to make a small papier mache nest with a single monogrammed (with my calligraphy of course!) egg in it. I have already found (thrifted) the vintage book I am going to use to make the mini-nests (this is my weekend project…).  I am not really into cutesy “bunny” crafts, or fussy crafts that take hours, I love this idea because it’s so simple, sweet and I love the imagery of new life. The nests really are quite simple to make, here are the step-by-step directions! What are you doing for Easter, I love to hear about fun traditions or other beautiful crafts out there!
