How to Make a Pine Cone Birdfeeder

By Elisabeth Parrish

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

A dried pine cone
Four feet of string
Peanut butter
A spoon
Birdseed
A plate

Step 1:
Tie one end of the string to the top of the pine cone.
Step 2:
Lay the pine cone on the plate, and lay the string over the rim of the plate to one side.
Step 3:
Take a spoonful of peanut butter and gently smear it over the face of the pine cone, leaving the base peanut-butter-free. Set the pine cone to one side.
Step 4:
Pour about one cup of birdseed onto the plate.
Step 5:
Pick up the pine cone and roll it over the birdseed so the seed sticks to the peanut butter.
Step 6:
Now your bird feeder is ready to hang. Find a low branch and tie the unattached end of string around it. Make sure to adjust the string's length so the feeder is at least 4 feet from the ground.
Step 7:
Enjoy watching local birds (and squirrels) benefit from your new pine cone bird feeder.
