    So I felt inspired by all of you crafty chicas - and I decided to try my hand at a ring bearer's bird nest!! This photo is the almost finished product - after I took the photo I edited down a little bit and took out a few flowers to make it less busy. I'm pretty satisfied but more importantly I had a great time making it! Now, the DIY bug may have bit me!!

    PS the bee is in honor of all you!

    Thanks! It was fun to make. Who knows if I'll end up using it in the wedding since my idea of what I want changes every minute (picky, much?), but it was fun!!

    I love that!  I already started a pillow with a big flower on it, but now I am thinking I can somehow add a little birdsnest for the rings on it...

    Aw, thanks girls!! I guess I was just worried it's tacky or too busy? I got a little crazy with the colors and flowers, hehe! But now thanks to all of you I am reassured! Yay for bird nests!

    Very cute!  I'm not crafty so I think I'm just sticking to the standard ring pillow.

    Very cute! I have a whole bird theme going as well.  I am making table numbers out of a section of tree trunk (cut into a thin disk) with a wooden number posted on it, some moss, and a few artificial birds on them.  They are so cute!

    hm...I bought a bird's nest around Christmas, to mark my daughter's flying the coop to Canada rather unexpectedly...maybe it would be fun to attach ribbons and put the rings there!! we will have a ring warming, where rings are passed amongst the guests during the ceremony, each has a moment to pass good wishes/prayers...(hope bf agrees!)!
