Our paper bag bird nest would make really cute table decor. Or you could even use it as a little treat basket at each place setting. Along with adding some candies to our birds nests, we styled them with some crepe paper tulip magnolias and the pear branch from one of our Member Make projects.

Crafting tip: The more paper strips you use and weave in, the stronger your nest will be.
