Make a Simple Bird Feeder With Pine Cones
This is about as easy as it gets craft wise. I just posted how to make a suet bird feeder which is a project suitable for older kids and adults. here is one for all ages and a good one for younger one and especially boys.
Supplies are very simple:
Pine cones
Nut Butter (creamy works best)
Bird seed ( I buy black oil sunflower seeds at bulk barn – great for chickadees! )
Twine, string or fishing line to hang.
Spoon or popsicle stick to spread nut butter.
s-hook or similar (on optional)
Tie twine/string/line around pine cone so it will hang. You can also use a glue gun ( I got low temp one for kids at dollar store )
Spread your pine cone liberally with the peanut butter or other nut butter.
Roll in bird seed.
Hang on tree branch or hook. Lots of fun to make a bunch and hang in your trees!
