How To Make Pine Cone Bird Feeders

What You Will Need:

• Pine Cones — different shapes and sizes
• String or yarn
• Peanut Butter (store brand costs less)
• Bird Seed (purchase at discount store)

Directions:

1. Attach a string to the top of each pine cone leaving enough length to tie to a tree branch.
2. Coat the pine cone with plenty of peanut butter so the bird seed will stick.
3. Dip the pine cone in the birdseed making sure it’s fully coated with seeds.
4. Ask a parent or adult to help you hang the pine cones in trees around your home. Pine trees are great spots because you can tuck them inside out of the weather to last even longer!
