Bird's Nest Lattice

Glue dried cherry stems with hot glue...

to create a lattice that fits over a container

The small dried stems can easily be stacked into any shape

For my design I stacked the cherry stems into a square with a round circle in the middle

Weave the ripped flax through the cherry stem lattice

See the Tutorial below on how to Rip Flax

Continue to loosely weave the flax through the stems leaving some bits dangling to create a messy nest appearance
