Heart Birdseed Ornaments
Materials
- 2 Envelopes of unflavored gelatine 8 gram packets
- 2/3 cup Boiling water
- 2 cups Bird seed
- Straws
- Parchment paper
- String/twine
- Heart cookie cutters
Instructions
- Put parchment paper down on a cookie sheet then lay out the cookie cutters. Set aside. Spray them with pam (optional)
- Start by boiling the water (I did 3 minutes in the microwave) then pour into a bowl. Stir and dissolve the 2 packets of gelatine until clear.
- Add in the bird seed and stir. It should not be runny. Depending on the kind of bird seed you use, you may need to add a little extra birdseed so it's not drippy.
- Spoon the mixture into the cookie cutters and pat down flat.
- Take a straw and poke through the top.
- Let dry for 6 hours. Tip the cookie cutters sideways to let the underside dry. Leave overnight or another 6-12 hours.
- Pull out the straws (you may need to poke a hole again) then gently push it out of the cookie cutter. Add a string and hang!
