What you will need :
  • 2 cups of birdseed
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
  • Wax paper
  • Cookie sheet
  • Straws
  • Twine
How to make them:
Add both packages of gelatin to a small pot and boil until the gelatin is dissolved. Allow to cool and pour into a large bowl. 
Add your birdseed into the bowl and using your hands, mix the birdseed and gelatin together.

Place your cookie cutters on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, scoop your birdseed mixture into your cookie cutters.   Push your straw through the mixture to create a hole for your twine. 
Allow your bird feeders to dry overnight. 
Once the bird feeders are dry, string twine through the hole and hang outside !
