There's still time to whip up a few handmade decorations for your Easter bash this coming Sunday! I transformed this simple origami box into a little bird's nest that's just perfect for those Cadbury Mini Eggs that we've all been
I didn't have any nesty-looking paper for this, so I drew up my own. Click here to download it for yourself!
Here's what you'll need:
- Nest filler - crimped paper or Easter basket grass
- Egg-shaped candies
- Free download, print out at 100% scaling and trim to 6" square
With the printed side down, fold in half diagonally, both sides.
Fold the right paper edge to the center crease, folding only to the lower crease. Fold the corner of this flap upwards. Unfold. Repeat with the three other sides of the square.
Bring the folded edge points to the center of the square. Tuck the corners into each other. Crease the edges into a square shape. Follow along with the video!
Fill with crimped paper and candy eggs. Make a bunch to give to friends and coworkers!
Fold an origami hen or two to go with your nests!
