Pinterest project: DIY birdfeeders using bird seed, cookie cutters, & gelatin.
/
These adorable birdfeeders are the perfect winter project to foster creativity and also make the birds happy! I saw this on Pinterest and thought it would be a fun and inexpensive way to provide food for the birdies all winter. Do it on your own, or with kiddos!
You only need a few items:
- Bag of bird seed for small birds {I got mine at Target.}
- Box of Knox Gelatine {Get at any grocery store. The box has 4 packets inside. Gelatin is completely safe for all birds as well as weatherproof!}
- Water
- Cookie cutters in various shapes
- String or twine
- Wax or parchment paper
For the cookie cutters, use simple shapes such as a star, heart, or circle. You don't want to use very complex designs because they won't hold together well.
Here's the tutorial that I used - so easy!
After taking about 30 seconds to make the birdseed mixture, I pressed it into the shapes and added string and let it dry overnight...
Come morning, I simply removed them from the cookie cutters.
Cute, eh?
Ready to hang them from the trees!
Come, birdies, COME!
