Bird Biscuit

Difficulty: Easy

Average User Rating:

I saw this project on the Discovery Channel show called Start to Finish. It's a great idea for the birds now that they are becoming less scarce with the warming weather.

Note: This craft has been altered to use peanut butter instead of glue.

What you'll need:

  • Flat wooden heart (or any wooden shape)
  • Peanut butter
  • Birdseed
  • Drill
  • Approximately 4 feet of 1/4 inch wide ribbon
  • Bowl

How to make it:

  1. Drill one small hole in each side of the heart - same distance from the top so that the heart is not lopsided.
  2. Cover the wooden heart completely in peanut butter and then place the heart in a bowl of bird seed.
  3. Cover the entire area of the heart with the birdseed making sure no bald spots are left anywhere on the heart.
  4. Cut two lengths of ribbon each 2 feet long and run one length of ribbon through each hole.
  5. Tie all ends of the ribbons together in a bow or knot.
  6. Hang bird biscuit in a tree or somewhere birds have easy access to it.

Tips:
