This DIY is a family friendly project that will bring lots of joy to your home with all the birds that it will attract.
Boil water and add to a bowl.
Mix in gelatin and then, corn syrup and peanut butter.
Once they are combined add in the bird seed to the gelatin mixture and mix completely.
Press down with your hands or a spoon to make sure the seed mixture is compressed into the cookie cutter.
Cut a straw in half. Then place it in the middle of the cookie cutter. Repeat the steps with all your different shapes. Then freeze them overnight or until they have hardened.
Cut your ribbon or string to the length you want. Then loop the string through the hole where the straw was and tie it off.
Hang your DIY bird seed ornaments in your yard and watch as the birds come to enjoy the bird seed.
