When Jen over at Absolutely Bananas challenged her readers to attempt a recent craft project I knew exactly what I would do!

You can find complete instructions on her blog but here’s the jist: you dip peices of yarn into elmers, wipe off the extra and drape the yarn over plastic wrap covered bowls (or cups depending on what shape result you want) allow to dry and peel off.  I used my Martha Stewart crafty power to make little nests for peeping chicks and treats which will adorn each place setting at our Easter table.

Plastic Wrap Covered Bowls

Now covered in messy gluey yarn

The finished product.

Here are a couple of tips I learned in the process:

Do not underestimate the messiness of this project.  Expect and prepare for glue covered hands.

Use more yarn.  I didn’t use nearly enough yarn the first time around.

Little Chibby sized bowls work perfectly for molds

This is a funny easy little project for crafty high heeled mamas and little Chib’s alike.  You definately have to give the Easter nests a try and be sure to visit Absolutely Bananas blog.
