Materials:

Water

Birdseed

Twine

Cooking spray

Equipment:

Plastic Easter eggs

Scissors

Instructions:

Step 1: Find what you need

Gather your supplies and materials.

Step 2: Prepare the birdseed mixture

Pour 1/2 cup of cold water into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 packages of gelatin to the bowl.

Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water into the bowl. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Pour 2-1/2 cups of bird seed into the gelatin mixture.

Stir until well mixed, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the egg mold

Separate a plastic Easter egg into 2 halves. Cut the plastic hinge, if needed.

Cut a 12 inch piece of twine and fold it in half. Tie a knot near the fold.

Slide the ends of the twine up through the holes in the egg top.

Spray both halves of the egg generously with cooking spray.You can also brush a small amount of regular cooking oil into the egg halves.

Step 4: Fill the mold

Hold the egg halves in one hand (or set them together) and place the knotted twine so it goes into the bottom half of the egg.

Fill both halves of the egg with the birdseed mixture, pressing it down with a spoon so it’s well packed.

Close the plastic egg, pressing the halves of the birdseed ornament together.

Step 5: Refrigerate the eggs

After a few minutes, carefully remove the top of the plastic egg.

Repeat to make more birdseed ornaments. This amount of birdseed mixture should make about 12 egg bird feeders, but this may vary depending on the size of the plastic eggs used.

Set the the bird feeders in an egg carton, egg holder, or muffin tin and refrigerate overnight.

Step 6: Remove the birdseed ornament

Remove the egg from the bottom half of the “shell.”

Tie the twine into a knot.

Your Easter egg bird feeder is complete!
