To finish your model bird's nest, check that the lining is securely glued in place. If the lining looks too regular, glue some tiny pieces of moss to thinner spots to hide any glue that shows through, or to make the lining look more realistic.
Trim the nest to the correct thickness, covering any thin areas on the exterior with bits of thread and moss glued in place.
Fill your nest with the correct number of eggs for a clutch of the eggs from your particular bird. North American Robins will usually lay three to five eggs in a clutch.
Glue the eggs in place in the bottom of the nest.
Your nest can be glued into a model tree at a fork in the branches, or glued into the support rafters of a small model building.
You can also build these nests in your chosen scale, and use some of the same thread you used for the interior, to create a hanging loop to hang the nests in branches for a spring decoration, or fill them with colored easter eggs and hang them in the branches of an easter centerpiece display.
