To make a miniature birds nest which looks like it is woven from straw or grass and bits of branches or twigs, take some small scraps of reindeer moss and wrap them with straw colored thread. Go back and forth over the moss to make a two to three inch length of moss and thread which holds together loosely when you pick it up.
