FAMILY HOLIDAY PROJECT
BIRDSEED ORNAMENTS
Adorable birdseed ornaments are an inexpensive activity the whole family can enjoy making on a lazy weekend afternoon. The kids will have a ball making them, and the birds will enjoy eating them.
THIS YOU WILL NEED:
- 4 cups birdseed
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 lb lard
- Cookie cutters
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cooking spray
- 2 straws
- Twine
HOW TO MAKE:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, water, corn syrup and gelatin to form a smooth paste.
- Slowly add the birdseed to the paste and combine until the birdseed is fully coated. Melt 1 pound of lard and add to mixture.
- Place the cookie cutters on a parchment paper-lined pan and coat the cookie cutters with cooking spray. Spoon the birdseed mixture into the cookie cutters. Press the mixture down firmly with the back on the spoon to pack the mixture into the cookie cutters as tight as possible.
- Cut straws into 3-inch segments and press the straw into the top one-fourth of the birdseed-filled cookie cutter. Make sure the hole goes all the way through the mixture. Leave the straw in the ornament and allow to dry for 3 to 4 hours.
- Once the birdseed ornaments have dried, take out the straw and carefully remove the ornaments from the cookie cutters. Allow to harden overnight in the freezer.
- Run a piece of twine through the hole at the top of the ornament. Hang the completed ornament in a tree for the birds to enjoy.
