Cut a Mother Bird and a row of baby birds from lightweight cardboard. Paint them and let dry.

Punch a hole at the bottom of Mother Bird and attach her to the mesh bag with a piece of chenille stick.

 

Glue a piece of chenille stick along the back the baby birds with the ends extending. Twist the ends into the mesh bag to hold the baby birds in the nest.
