DIY Birdseed Ornaments: An Easy and Fun Nature Craft for Kids!

This fun and easy DIY Birdseed Ornaments is a perfect craft project for the whole family! Soon after, you will be the best neighbors to the local birds around you. One of the many things that I love seeing is that my 2 year old daughter, Tenley, has instantly inherited our love for nature. This includes the great outdoors and animals, especially the birds and squirrels we see outside our patio.

We are very grateful to live in an area where we occasionally see birds, squirrels and more right outside our patio. Our patio overlooks a creek and is surrounded by oak trees. We love where we live! Lately, Tenley has been wanting to feed her leftover snacks to the birds that stop by our balcony. Like these peas!

This led us to search online for bird houses and bird feeders, because we obviously want to welcome more birds to our balcony (could I sound more like a crazy “bird lady?” haha), but then we thought…no, let’s get creative and DIY something with things we may already have at home!

DIY Birdseed Ornaments:

Materials

Bird Seed
Peanut Butter
Bread (our absolute favorite to eat!)
Parchment Paper
Jute Ribbon
*Optional: Star Wars Lightsaber Chopsticks

You can use any shape you’d like! We decided to use this cookie cutter.

Step 3: It’s time for peanut butter!

Start with one side of the bread first.

Step 4: Add the birdseed to the peanut butter side.

Then repeat steps 3 & 4 to the other side of the bread.

This project is also super quick and easy, and although I prefer to let my ornaments cure for at least a couple of days before I hang them, you could also make this the day before gifting it and it would be just fine. It only takes 3 ingredients (including water) and under 20 minutes to make and uses ingredients you can pick up at your local supermarket (if you don’t already have them on hand).

This is such a nice idea! And so cute that you did it together! My mom used to get a lot of hummingbirds at our window, and then pigeons happened.
