Carefully spread a bit of glue around the inside of the miniature bird's nest on top of the glue from the step where you shaped the nest. If your nest is wobbly in any areas, secure it with a bit of glue on the inside.

Holding your thread lining so it doesn't unravel, carefully place the lining over the top of the nest. Use the eraser covered end of a pencil or a similar object to push the circular lining gently down into the centre of the nest, allowing it to bend up the sides as well.

Make sure the lining is pressed firmly into the glue.

Trim off any noticeable thread ends. Set the nest aside to dry.
