Bird Seed Ornament

How we did it:
Materials List
- bird seed (3/4 cup)
- warm water (1/4 cup)
- wax paper
- gelatin (one packet)
- cookie cutters
- ribbon
- straws
- bowl
- spoon
- scissors
-
Gather your materials.
-
Mix a packet of gelatin with ¼ cup of warm water in a bowl. Stir it until the gelatin powder is dissolved. Allow it to cool and stir in the birdseed until it is all mixed together.
-
Cut your straws to be about 1� in length. Only one cut piece of straw is needed for each ornament.
-
Cover your work surface with wax paper. Place your cookie cutters down and begin filling them with the bird seed mixture. As you fill the cookie cutter, hold a piece of straw at the top of the ornament. Fill the seed mixture around, but not inside, the straw. Let the ornaments dry overnight.
-
Gently push the ornaments from the cookie cutters and thread the hole with ribbon. Go outside to find a tree and hang up your new bird seed ornament!
