Cost: $2
- 2 unflavored gelatin packets
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups birdseed or chicken scratch
- cookie cutters
- straw cut into 2" segments
- string
Add the two gelatin packets to ½ c. boiling water, and whisk until dissolved.
Stir in the birdseed.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place cookie cutters on top. Spoon birdseed mixture into cookie cutters.
Add a straw and press down. This will create an opening when the birdseed has dried for the string.
Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Carefully pop each bird seed shape out of the cookie cutters and let dry on the counter for a few more hours (or overnight).
Attach a string through the hole, and attach to a tree. Watch and wait for a few hours, you’ll see birds come to nibble!
