Bird's Nest Peat Pots

I've been at it gain. Crafting with polymer clay.  It is my newest addiction!

I've been showing you the little bird's eggs that I have been creating, as well as some of my tags.  And you already probably know that I have a "thing" for bird's nests! Oh, and peat pots!  So I thought I would combine them all into some fun new creations!

I began by painting some peat pots that I had on hand a very, very pale blue, and of course I just had to add a bit of glitter as well!  I then fashioned  handles from  irridescent chenile stems.  For the trim on this one, I added cute little turquoise mini pom poms, and coordinating gross grain ribbon.  I then filled the pot with some crinkly brown craft paper.  And I lucked out and found the sweetest little real bird's nests for the two pots you see here.  Aren't they just the cutest?   Don't

worry, they are nests from last year.  I didn't steal any little baby birdies home!

 Those little birds must have worked so hard to build such amazing nests!  Ok, for the fun part:  I made some more eggs from polymer clay, and painted these a bright aquamarine.  I added some brown speckles, so they look quite realistic, if I do say so myself:)

 To the handle I typed on this sweet little clay birdie tag that I made.  The clay has bits of shimmery glitter already added to it, 'cause you all know how much I love glitter:)

 I really had alot of fun with this project!

 For the second peat pot, I filled the basket with my clay eggs that I painted speckly brown.

 Cute!

 I tied the tag on with pretty narrow white lace.

 And trimmed the rim with the most adorable mini pom poms in light blue.  Then I added some pretty white cotton lace trim to the top as well.

I'm going to be putting these two pots in my Etsy shop.  Now I need to find another nest so that I can make myself a peat pot as well!

Have a nice week!
