This simple craft creation is perfect for the young and old in your house!  Create a paper bag “nest” to house your Easter treats.  Include a fluffy little bird or chick to complete the look!  Here’s how to make your own little “nest.”

You will need–

brown paper bags- lunch size or smaller

scissors* – *safety scissors for those wee, little ones

treats to place inside the paper bag “nest”

First–

* place a paper bag on the table

Cut approximately 1/2 to 3/4 off the top of the bag.  Save the cut top half of the bag to “shred” for “nest” filling.

First, cut across 1/2 to 3/4 from the top of the bag.

 

Next,

• carefully open the paper bag and fold the top edges down, roll, and fold a few more times

Gently roll the bag from the rim to the bottom.

Then,

• Scrunch the bottom corners in to make the little paper bag look “nest” like.

Shred the left over “cut” piece of bag for nest filling.

Finally,

• Add some jellybeans or Easter eggs to the nest.  Place a small “chick” or “bird” into the paper “nest.”
