Happy New Year Craft for the Birds ;)

Birdseed Craft for the New Year | Lady Lucas

Dear Readers, I thought you'd enjoy this cute craft to ring in the New Year. This is a very special handmade treat - because it's just for the birds{and squirrels of course}.

Pine Cone Snacks
You will need:
- sturdy pine cones
- heavy thread or yarn
- peanut butter
- assorted seeds and cereals

Birdseed Craft for the New Year | Lady Lucas
Select a grouping of sturdy pine cones.

 Tie some string around the top of each and knot again forming a loop for which the pine cone will hang.

Using a knife, generously cover the outside of each pine cone with peanut butter, then roll them in a tray of seeds and grains.

Hang your pine cone snacks outside and wait for animals to enjoy them ;)

All SEVEN of the pine cones we put outside were promptly pulled off the trees within an hour or two by squirrels. I was thrilled that at least someone was enjoying them...

Happy 2015 Everyone!
