Pine Cone Bird Feeder

For a fun, hands-on craft, try this project that’s literally for the birds. You’ll need:

  • Birdseed
  • Margarine
  • Peanut butter
  • Pine cone
  • Yarn

Instructions

Tie a four-foot piece of yarn around the top of a large pine cone. Mix two tablespoons of peanut butter with two tablespoons of margarine. Spread the mixture on the pine cone and roll it in a shallow dish filled with birdseed. Place the pine cone in the freezer for an hour, and then hang it outside on a tree and watch the birds enjoy!
