Nesting

Today I crafted with Leslie and we got a lot done!  We made this hanging nest {there are eggs in the bucket}.  We saw this idea somewhere and I can find our reference or I would link to it {I will update when I find it}
It was super easy to make:
1 bucket
3 types of ribbon {we also used tulle}
Excelsor filling
Tag
Leslie is really good at making bows, so she made mine.  She just attached it with hot glue to the bottom of the bucket.
After she left, I decided to make some tags to go with it.  {one for me, one for Leslie}
I used canvas as the base of the tag.  Inked the edges with black.  I had some paper that looked like grass to me... I love the little alphabet stickers by EK Success.  Then I just used a sharpie and wrote "blessings".  Super easy!!
Leslie and I were inspired by Becky's nest in her sifter.  See it here on her blog:  Beyond the Picket Fence.
This is all Leslie's creation that I had to share with y'all.
She had her mother-in-law's vintage sifter and made this beautiful nest!
Thanks Becky for inspiring us!  Now I have to go find a sifter for me!!!
Have a delightful weekend!
