It’s SPRING! The flowers are budding out, the grass is greening up and the birds are building their nests. Give them a little hand and help them make their nests colorful and comfy (and your trees a little prettier) with a nest-building wreath.
Things you’ll need:
Grapevine wreath
Wool roving
Ribbon
Pencil or knitting needle
Things to do:
1. Pull two to three inch sections of roving off of the lengths and separate them into thin sections.
2. Using the tip of the pencil, work the roving bits into the spaces in the wreath. Continue to add pieces until most of the spaces are filled.
3. Add a length of ribbon and knot at the top (or tie a bow!) and hang in a tree where the birds like to flock!
**Make sure you use natural dyed wool, so that the birds will not be harmed with chemicals.

What a great idea! I just recently hung a pair of seashell wreaths on a twig base on each side of my door in my breeze way and the birds love them. Red Finches built nests between the wall and the twigs on the wreath. The first batch of baby birds have are gone and now I have Wrens that took over the nest. It’s funny because I had an old pillow in a rocker that had a hole in the cushion and the birds used some of the stuffing in their nests.
