I made this crows nest from moss and a plastic flower pot. I got a bunch of crows from the Dollar Store so this was really inexpensive. I am using crows all over the house this year and am having a lot of fun with it.
Materials:
- plastic flower pot
- moss
- crows (Mine are from the Dollar Store)
Step 1.
Take a big bunch of moss and press it down into the pot. Push it down in the center to make the shape of a nest.
Step 2.
I hot glued the first crow on the rim of the pot. I added a second crow to the top and then put one more at the base of the pot as shown.
Step 3.
I found these great black acorns out in the woods by my house so I put them in the nest.

I have never met anyone who can't make wonderful things for their homes, friends, and family, only those who think they can't. The purpose of this blog is to show everyone how really simple most projects for the home are to make. When my husband and I bought our first home we were short on cash so I learned to be long on creativity. I have been told that I can make something wonderful out of nothing and that is true. You can too! Some of my favorite things are items that I found in someone's junk pile. I am going to show you how easy it really is. I hope you find the courage to jump in and attempt some of these projects. You will be amazed at how talented you really are.
I love this idea! My crafty project last Halloween was one of those “upside-down hanging mummies” that can cost around $60 in a party store. I used Black garbage bags filled with recylables (a Plasic gallon-sized millk jug for the head, two coffee cans for the shoulders, and crumpled newspapers for filling in the body. Tied them together with clear shipping tape I had, and bought dollar-store spider web and sheese cloth to wrap him with. Finishing touch? A dollar- bag of plastic spiders crawling all over. Total cost: $10ish.
That sounds like a fun project! I can’t wait till Halloween!
