🌿INSTRUCTIONS🌿
▶️ Birdseed Ornaments
2 pkg. Plain Gelatin
1 c. hot water
6 Tablespoons Light Corn syrup
1 ½ c. Flour
8 cups Wild Bird Seed
Grease muffin tins. Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add corn syrup and flour. Mix thoroughly. Add bird seed and mix again. Fill each individual muffin cup halfway with birdseed mixture, then form a loop out of a piece of twine or ribbon and press into each muffin cup, fill the muffin cups the rest of the way with the birdseed mixture, pressing down firmly. Let set several hours or overnight.
▶️ Pinecone Ornaments
Pinecones
Organic Peanut Butter
Wild Bird Seed
Apply peanut butter to pinecone then roll in birdseed. Form a loop out of jute twine and hot glue to the top of the pinecone.
▶️ Cranberry/Popcorn/Orange Garland
6 lb. test fishing line
Large needle
Popcorn (natural- no butter or salt)
Fresh Cranberries
Dried Oranges (dry oranges by slicing about ⅛ inch thick, lay on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dry in the oven at 200 degrees for 3-4 hours.
You can do whatever pattern you like! For mine, I started 5 cranberries, then one orange, than 5 pieces of popcorn, and repeated until I had a nice, long garland.
▶️ Fresh Apple/Orange Garland
Apples
Oranges
Organic Peanut Butter
Wild Bird Seed
Cut apples and oranges into ¼ inch thick slices. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread peanut butter to half of the apple slices, front and back, dip in birdseed and lay on paper. When all the apples are finished, grab a piece of jute twine and a large needle (I used a plastic darning needle which can be found in the knitting section of the craft store). String the apples and oranges, alternating as you go. I like to keep this type of garland in about 4’ or less sections because they’re much easier to manage.
