Twine Nest. Soak twine in a mixture of glue and about 2 tablespoons each of flour and water. Form the nest by coiling and shaping wet twine into a smaller, plastic-lined bowl. To create a layer of frayed twine, carefully run the blade of a scissors against sections of dry twine (pictured). Adhere the frayed pieces to the nest using hot glue. Place two small faux eggs in the nest.
