  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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.
    Found you on OPT and will bookmark your site.:)
