Bird Feeded Project

Crafts. Some of us here love them and some of us don't. But we love family time and so everyone participates. We are busy making bird feeders. Come along on our journey and maybe this will prompt you to make bird feeders to hang from the trees outside your home.

What you'll need:

  • Pine cones
  • Paper plate per person
  • Butter knife
  • Smooth peanut butter
  • Birdseed
  • Ribbon, yarn or string
  • Scissors

How to make it:

  1. Cut a long length of ribbon, about 2 feet, of ribbon, yarn or string to hang the bird feeder.
  2. Tie it in a knot around the pine cone near the top (about 3 sections down).
  3. Tie a knot in the end of the ribbon. This part will hang from the tree.
  4. Use the knife to spread peanut butter inside the pine cone and around the edges.
  5. Hold the pine cone over the plate and sprinkle the birdseed over the pine cone.
  6. Roll the pine cone in the birdseed that is on the plate.
  7. Hang the bird feeder on the tree.
  8. Enjoy watching the birds eat their treat! This makes for capturing great pictures for the photographer in your family.
