Create a Backyard Feeding Station!
Pinecone feeders are really easy to make and will attract all kinds of hungry creatures like squirrels and birds. Hang them in a tree, or near a window so you can watch your backyard friends pig out!
What you'll need: Several large pinecones Peanut butter or honey Wild birdseed Large bowl Spatula Florist wire Scissors or wire cutters Newspaper
What you'll do: Cover your work area with newspaper. Using scissors or wire cutters, cut a six to eight inch length of florist wire and attach one to each pinecone for hanging (wrap one end of wire tightly around tip of pinecone) . Using a rubber spatula, coat pinecones with a thick layer of peanut butter, honey or both. Be sure to fill the pinecone's nooks and crannies! Fill a large bowl about halfway with wild birdseed. Roll the peanut butter covered pinecones in the seed until well coated. Hang, and watch the feast!
