Pinecone Craft - Bird Feeder

We have this huge pine tree in our front yard, which drops tons and tons of pine cones (and useless needles).  Every year I want to do something with the pine cones but most of the time they just waste in my yard because I just can't come up with a project.

Last year we made a few bird feeders with them.


Ingredients:

Pine cones
Peanut butter
Birdseed
Plastic storage bag with seal
Plastic Spoon
Newspaper (something to cover your work area)
Ribbon/String
Scissors

Directions:

Take the plastic spoon and dip it into the peanut butter.
Spread the peanut butter all over the pine cone
Pour birdseed into the plastic storage bag and drop pine cone into it.
Seal the bag and shake until the pine cone is all covered with bird seed.
Partially pull out the pine cone out of the bag and shake off loose seeds.
Tie a ribbon/string on the end of the pine cone so you can hang it outside.

Voila, you have a bird feed.
