Tips and variations: Use colored candy eggs to match your theme, or tie a tiny ribbon around the toothpick for extra flair. Cardstock weight can affect how well the flag stands—use slightly heavier stock for better stability. If you need a stronger hold, a small drop of hot glue can secure the toothpick more firmly (use caution around children). These nests work well for Easter, spring gatherings, baby showers, or any event that benefits from a whimsical touch.
