Jute Nest Making With Mod Podge

In my previous post, I shared Spring Nest Making with some foam bird & dough eggs, this spring-inspired hanging wall art is totally handmade, I made a nest out of a jute rope & then handcrafted some little thingies for it.

Let's see how I made this Jute Nest Globe.

Jute Nest Making with Mod Podge

For its making, you will need to have Jute rope, transparent glue, water & a balloon.

You will need to have half a cup transparent/white glue & a quarter half cup of water, mix it together in a thin liquid form.

Roll the jute on your hand & release it from the jute big ball. Make it loose & do not roll it tightly, otherwise, when you will be working they will be sticking together tightly & you will maybe not be able to keep them separate!

First I dip the jute in the water & press the jute for rinsing water from it totally, then pour the glue mixture over it, use a bowl or plate for this. soak it for a couple of minutes & then start warping the balloon with jute rope.

By following the shape of the balloon, I started wrapping it from the top. then over the whole balloon & when wrapping is done, hang the balloon somewhere but be sure to place any plate or sheet on the floor, because the glue will be dripping constantly until it gets dry totally! so dont make the floor dirty.

I keep this inside the room, so jute takes time in getting dry totally! so it will take almost 36 hours. And when it was dry, poke the balloon. Here comes the jute nest!

Important ;

Here I am sharing some important points to remember while making this jute globe.

1- Before adding glue to your jute rope, Measure the jute by wrapping your balloon roughly & cutting it then start work.

2- Don't make the jute messy, otherwise, it will be hard for you to keep it separate while wrapping over the balloon.

3- Wrap it tightly over the balloon, if it will be loose, the shape can be disturbed.

4- Place any plate/newspaper on the floor when you will be hanging the balloon for drying.

5- Do Not poke the balloon when the jute is wet, otherwise, the whole craft will be damaging!

You can see the complete making of this Spring Jute Nest. I hope you liked my post & will be giving it a try. Jute Nest Making with Mod Podge is not difficult to try as I enjoyed its making, You will also enjoy making it hopefully.
