Supplies
Supplies: twine or string, glue (school glue), ¼ cup cornstarch, ⅛ cup warm water, 2 bowls (one for mixing and one to use as a mold), plastic wrap
Instructions
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
- Add glue just until it is a thinner consistency but NOT watery.
- Line a bowl with plastic wrap. This will be the mold for your nest.
- Place the twine into the bowl with the glue mixture and mush it around in there so that all of the twine is covered with glue.
- Start wrapping the twine in the bottom center of the bowl lined with plastic wrap and shape your nest.
- Allow to dry ~ this may take several days so be patient!
