Birdseed ornaments
“The kids helped with these.” I don’t know what I’m going to do when the kids move out of the house and my crafts still look the same. This was a fun project though and I’m excited to give them to the grandparents.
Ingredients
-4 cups bird seed
-1/2 cup water
-2 packets of unflavored gelatin
-1/3 cup corn starch
-3 Tbsp corn syrup
Place ornaments, molds or cups on wax paper and spray with non stick cooking spray.
Dissolve gelatin into 1/2 of water on the stove over medium heat. Add the corn starch slowly mixing to incorporate, add the 3 Tbsp corn syrup. This will thicken and then it is ready to add the 4 cups of bird seed. Quickly add to ornaments on wax paper, pressing down with spoon. Make a hole to use to hang up. Put in fridge for 1/2 hour. I used my husbands drill to make the holes because seemed too difficult to do with a straw for me. Do what works for you.
