How to Weave a Nest
- 1). Place several sheets of newspaper on your work space.
- 2). Place the cup in the center of your work space. Blow up the balloon. Position the balloon so that it sits in the top of the cup.
- 3). Pick up a strip of fabric and cover one side of it with a thick layer of glue. Stick the strip of fabric over the top over the balloon. Pick up a strip of yarn. Apply glue to the length of the yarn and wrap it messily around the top half of the balloon. Repeat this technique, weaving and gluing leaves and different colored and sized pieces of yarn and fabric, until the entire top half of the balloon is completely covered.
- 4). Place the cup, balloon and nest in a warm place to dry for 24 to 48 hours.
- 5). Pop the balloon with a pin. Remove any pieces of balloon from inside the nest.
