Even if base is just paper or burlap. Then maybe you could nail the centers? I'm sure you could hide the nail easily. Just a thought! Having a sweet giveaway at my place. Stop by if you can. It is an apron made from vintage linens.

Well aren't diapers appropriate for those sweet little nests? Not in your assemblege tho. How about a branch or two? They do look beautiful on the cabinet doors too. Would you be able to spray them with some type of matte sealant so they won't crumble?

Maybe if you tea-dyed the cheesecloth or used burlap or linen - something closer to the natural color of the nests it would look more like what you wanted. I also thought that little sticks or branches would work too. Love your creativity and can't wait to see what you end up doing with these precious nests.
