Pine Cone Bird Feeders :)

July 31st, 2012

We got some pine cones from grammies house the other night and she gave us peanut butter and bird seed to make a bird feeder.  I eventually want to try to make a wreath but that will take a lot of pine cones.

Here is what we did in pictures.  Very simple to do.  Smother peanut butter all over the outside and then I dipped it in bird seed and it sticks great.  I tied some string around the tops of them and then hung them outside.  It is a sticky mess but the boys had fun spreading the peanut better.

We had squirrels find them within 15 minutes.  I am hoping the birds find the 3 that the squirrels can’t reach.

 

What have you done with pine cones lately?  I have another idea too but I need some pretty ribbon to do it!  The craft store is a dangerous place for me but I may have to go anyway soon.
