    Hey, they are really pretty! This is something we can do with the little ones, I bet they’ll love making their own nests. Thank you!

    Really cute. I tried this over the weekend and I don’t think mine is as cute as yours! I didn’t use a paper shredder but probably will in my next try. :)

    This is too funny, guess what we’re going to be making soon…the exact same thing. Great minds think alike! We’re having my friends over on Palm Sunday and I wanted something cute for the little girl’s table settings and when I looked at mini baskets they all seemed so expensive. Then I got my issue of CL and thought, BINGO!

    I love love this project! THANKS SO MUCH! I have a bridal shower to do using a bird/nest/vintage theme and this is perfect for treats on the table! I also love the natural “feel” of the paper bags plus it’s recycling which I adore.
