Oh, and they were super easy to make too!  All you need is:

• Pectin or Unflavored Gelatin
• Cookie Cutters
• Twine
• Straw or Stick
• Cooking Spray
• Foil

We made a big batch of them and used a bunch of different shapes.  [Yes, that is a skull shaped cookie cutter!  When they are on sale for 25 cents you just buy it.]

• Combine your gelatin with boiling water according to the package you use.
• Then add your birdseed.
• Wait until it starts to clump together.
• Spray your cookie cutters with cooking spray.
• Put your cookie cutters on a piece of foil.
• Smush your birdseed mixture into the cutter.
• Add a straw or stick to the center to create a hole.
• Wait until it hardens.  [We added ours to the freezer to speed up the process.]
• Add your string and hang it outside.

Enjoy your new bird feeder and the birds that come by to check it out!

A fun and easy craft that will make even the birds happy!
