Step 1: Blow up balloon and insert it into a container
Here's mine in a milk glass urn.
(total aside: everything looks better in a milk glass urn)
Step 2: Make your own decoupage mix
This is the perfect inexpensive way to make your own decoupage.
Mix 3 parts Elmer's Glue-All to one part water.
Step 3: Dip twine in decoupage mix
I dunked my twine and soaked it for just a little bit.
Then I started criss-crossing it on top of the balloon.
Step 4: Continue adding twine
I kept adding twine in a random pattern until it looked like this.
Turn the balloon so you make sure you get even random coverage.
No pattern.
Just criss-cross it until it looks right.
Let dry thoroughly.
Step 5: Pop the balloon
Once your nest has dried, pop the balloon. Once the balloon is popped, it just pulls away to reveal a perfect (or a little random) jute nest.
Trim the edges of the nest and any extra glue strings.
