Burlap Bird's Nest

The other day Leslie and I made a Burlap Bird's Nest.  While we were altering our jewelry and making rosettes, we thought why not make a large one for a bird's nest!  So, we made a large rosette and even added another strip of burlap to have it even bigger. 
How I learned to do Fabric Rosettes was watching a segment on a Studio 5:  Click here to watch.
We just added the threads of burlap to the inner part of the nest.  I also put a couple of tiny pieces of tulle in random places.
The bird and eggs I had on hand.  I got the bird at Rod Works in Utah, it is actually an ornament.
I am pretty sure that I will be making more of these soon!!!  Spring hurry up and get here!!!

    This is just darling. How did you make the rosette? Is it strips folded over? Love the little tulle sticking out. Gonna have to try it.
