Handmade Wood Wool Bird Nest | 6 cm Round | Cream - Decor & Craft

Bring the shape of a nest to a scene without the dark twig look. This one is built by hand from wood wool, the fine curled shavings used as packing filler, loosely packed into a round bowl about 6 cm across and bound with a few strands across the top. The soft cream tone sits easily against white, pastel and gold styling where a brown twig nest would read too heavy.

Creative Uses and Project Ideas

• Set into a fairy garden, terrarium or a miniature shelf scene
• Glue onto a wreath or a garland with a small artificial bird
• Use as a ring or jewellery dish for a proposal or a photo shoot
• Add to a dollhouse roof, a diorama tree or a school model

Compatibility

• Works with: Wreaths, garlands, shelves, mantels, dollhouses, dioramas, table centres and photo props
• Pairs well with: Artificial birds, craft feathers, dried flowers, artificial eggs, pearls and hot glue
• Not suitable for: Housing live birds, outdoor use in rain or direct sun, holding water, or unsupervised use by children under three

Before You Buy

• This nest is cream rather than bright white. The photographs are accurate, so if you need a true white to sit beside white china or white card, this is not it.
• Each nest is formed by hand, so shape, depth and packing vary from piece to piece.
• Sold empty. Eggs, birds, flowers and pearls in any styled photograph are not included.
• This is a decoration. It is not made for live birds, it is not weatherproof, and loose strands can shed a little in handling.
• Wood wool is dry and unsealed. It marks easily, it soaks up damp, and it burns readily, so keep it away from candles, diyas and fairy lights that heat up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this nest white or cream, and what is it made of?
It is cream rather than bright white, made from wood wool, the fine curled wood shavings used as packing filler, packed into a nest shape by hand rather than woven from twigs. It is supplied empty.

Which size should I pick?
At 6 cm this is the smallest cream nest, sized for fairy gardens, dollhouses and small wreaths. The 8 cm suits a spring or Easter shelf and the 12 cm works as a mantel piece.

How is this different from the brown vine nests?
The brown nests are woven from dark vine twigs and read rustic. This one is packed from pale wood wool and reads soft and light, which suits white, pastel and gold styling. Same sizes, very different look.
