Yarn Scrap Nest

Use up yarn scraps and make a yarn nest with paper mache paste. Add seasonal touches for fall or spring.
A few years back I made a yarn bowl and it is still one of my most popular posts. It’s been a while since I’ve made a batch of paper mache paste and I’ve been wanting to make some nests so I revisited that yarn bowl project and adapted it to make some fun crafty nests.
First you'll need to grab scraps from your yarn stash.
To make a yarn bowl or nest, you’ll need some bowls, yarn scarps and the ingredients for the paper mache paste (flour, water and sugar).
The shape doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, I love how imperfect these turned out.
Use the nests to decorate a mantel or shelf. Add bits of moss and some eggs for a seasonal touch.
Enjoyed the project?
