Let's make the Birdie's Nest & The Secret Item....

Some of you got it right~ YOU are SO GOOD!!!
CUPCAKE LINER & SPRAY ADHESIVE
Cupcake Liner helps the nest to go back into shape after all the shredding is on.
Spray adhesive is the best thing that I could find to adhere
the shredding to the cupcake holder. Place cupcake liner upside down onto scrap plastic surface that you can throw away use. Spray with adhesive really well and start putting shredding onto to cover entire cupcake holder. Then pick up liner and start pressing shredding to liner to adhere. You may have to add more shredding if needed. Turn over and do the same. If you want a thicker nest, repeat steps.
Pressing shredding ( use any type of shredding that you wish) onto cupcake liner.
Place onto plastic and put Styrofoam ball or other small ball into middle.
Form shredded nest around ball. All adhesive should be covered so it should not stick to ball.
The cupcake liner helps the nest go back to a cupcake shape. Cupcake Shape!!! Or rather

MY BIRDIES NEST!!

At this point you can hot glue brown shredded paper into bottom for nesting.

Hints~ Add fibers to nesting for added interest!

Happy Nesting!!
