8. Bird Seed and Gelatin Feeder
A bird feeder made from bird seed and gelatin is a more solid, lasting option. This craft works well for colder months when you want a feeder that will last longer.
What You’ll Need:
- Unflavored gelatin
- Bird seed
- Water
- Cookie cutters
How to Do It:
- Follow the instructions on the gelatin packet to prepare the gelatin mixture.
- Mix the bird seed into the gelatin, stirring until it’s well combined.
- Press the mixture into cookie cutters to form shapes like hearts or stars.
- Let the mixture harden and attach a string for hanging.
Why it Works: The gelatin holds the seeds together, making it last longer outdoors, even in wet weather. It also provides a fun way for kids to shape their own bird feeders.
