Another Fun Fall Craft

Hungry for another fun, cheap fall craft?? How 'bout a pinecone bird feeder?? For this project, I snagged 3 pinecones for free, compliments of the KC Zoo (found them lying on the ground near the parking lot and the light-bulb came on: project!!). We used curling ribbon (already had it on hand), peanut butter, (I have plenty of that in the stockpile!) and bird seed that I grabbed at Big Lots for about $3.

First, we tied the ribbon around the top of the pinecone so we could hang them on the tree when we were all done. Then we smeared PB all over each pinecone. Then, we rolled them around in a container full of bird seed, making sure to cover it completely and pat it on tight.


Then we tied them to the tree for the birds to enjoy! Jack had a blast doing this project and he has been excited to watch out the window to see if any birds have been enjoying his snack!!
