{Birdseed Ornaments}
They were so easy to make and I was so pleased with how they turned out.
Ingredients Needed:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 tbsp. corn syrup
4 cups birdseed
molds (muffin tin, cookie cutters, etc.)
nonstick spray
drinking straw
waxed paper
ribbon/twine
1. Combine the flour, water, gelatin and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well-combined.
2. Add the birdseed to the mixture, stir until well coated.
3. Spray your mold(s) with cooking spray, and spoon birdseed mixture into each mold. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it down, and make the top smooth. Poke a hole through top of each birdseed mold using a drinking straw, making sure it goes all the way through.
4. Leave the birdseed mixture in the molds for two to three hours. Then, remove the straws and lay out a sheet of waxed paper. Gently remove the hardened ornaments from the mold, and place them on the wax paper upside down. Allow them to dry for at least two to three more hours, or overnight.
5. Cut your ribbon and carefully put it through the hole.
6. Package them up! The author of SK made her own boxes (sickening, I know.)
I hung them on our Christmas tree and let guests pick the ornament they wanted.
You must try this easy & fun gift! It would be a great little one project too!!
