Try this simple DIY Pinecone Bird Feeder project using a few items you probably already have at home. It’s messy, fun, and sure to bring some chirping visitors to your garden! 

Collet pine Cones

• Pinecones—whatever size and shape you can find
• String

• 2 T shortening or butter
• 2-3 cups birdseed

Pinecone bird feeder instructions

1. Tie 6-8 inches of string to the tip of each pine cone.
2. Melt your peanut butter and butter together until runny. If it’s too hot for little fingers, allow it to cool slightly.
3. Dip your pinecones in the mixture until they are completely covered.
4. Roll the pinecones thoroughly in birdseed.
5. Hang in nearby trees and bushes.
