Bird Seed Wreaths



I found this idea at www.cherryhillcottage.typepad.com and thought it looked like something we could do (scroll down to July 3rd).

Jonge helped me with the first batch, which made a nice size wreath in a bunt pan.


Famke was my helper with the second batch, which we made in individual ring jello moulds.

I just happened to have everything to make them on hand.

The recipe is easy and they popped right out of the pans without much loss of seed at all.








Kado was a wee bit less than thrilled. He was sleeping when we mixed them up on Monday. Perhaps he was wishing they were donuts?

Anyway..,


I'll let you know what the birds think!


The only problem I had was that the mixture is thick. I have problems with my wrists occasionally, although not for a few years. Stirring two batches caused it ALL to come back. This morning I tried to lift a pitcher of water and nearly collapsed from the pain.


So all I can say is, those birds better LOVE them!


And, I plan to make these often. I'll just have THGGM do the stirring.

Oh, those are downright amazing! I'll certainly have to try making them now. So sorry about your wrists, though! Do send THGGY over here when he's finished stirring your next batch. heh. :) Thanks for sharing these! ...Debra

If I find 5 minutes, I'm going to check that out. As much as the grandboys love birds, that would be a wonderful project for them...and me! Thanks for sharing it, Judy.
