This year I am hosting an Easter Brunch at my house for dear friends! And as much as I love<\/strong> dyed eggs (especially when they are sparkly<\/em>), you never want to toss all your eggs in last year’s basket. To keep things fresh, I wanted to go with au natural inspiration for my table this Easter. Turning to nature, I came up with these easy little Robin nests for place card holders. They are the perfect solution for both a children’s table, as well as so-called “grown-ups”. Dress them up or dress them down, it’s up to you how much ruffle you want to get in your feathers!\"untitled-51\"<\/a>\"untitled-30\"<\/a>
\nHere is what you need to make the nest:<\/strong>
\nCandy Robin Eggs<\/a>
\nDecorative Excelsior Moss<\/a><\/p>\n

I purchased the Robin eggs at Walmart for less than a dollar and the Excelsior at Michael’s for 1.99! As I am typing this low cost information, I am realizing that maybe I do <\/em>“deserve” that Godiva Enchanted Easter Basket <\/a>after all! Is it ethical to serve your guests Walmart candy while you dine on Godiva behind their backs?!? Hmmm… okay, back to the nests.<\/p>\n

\"untitled-14\"<\/a>\"untitled-28\"<\/a> Here’s how to make the nests:<\/strong>
\n1)<\/strong> Simply form the Excelsior moss into the desired size of nests with your hands. I made my nests about 3.5″ all around. Do not worry about making the nests perfect. Nature is imperfectly beautiful.
\n\"untitled-3\"<\/a>2)<\/strong> Place three Robin Eggs inside of each nest.
\n3)<\/strong> Print your guest names on cardstock.
\n4)<\/strong> Cut out names and tape them to back of toothpicks.
\n5) <\/strong>Place toothpicks into nests! The moss will hold it in place. \"untitled-34\"<\/a><\/p>\n
