A Crown Revamped

I found this crown on sale at a cute little gift store in Boise last year. 

I thought I would put a candle in it.  Maybe a bird?  Hey, I like a good trend, and I have collected quite a few birds and items with birds on them over the past few seasons.  I didn't like the look of either, so I decided to make an arrangement with a nest on top. 

I bought this little nest with eggs at Ross.  I bought some moss and a little ivy.  I cut off a few of the ivy tips so the leaves were very small.  The fern was really hard for me to find.  I ended up buying

a fern in a little pot.  It was stuck in the pot with a bunch of foam and hot glue, so I made a huge styrofoam mess pulling it out of the pot.  I flattened it out and worked in a few strands of ivy.  I poked some little bunches of moss in here and there.

I filled the bottom of the crown with moss.

I added the greenery and nest.

Voila!  The finished crown.

 It's beginning to look like spring in here, even though it is snowing outside.
