How to make bird seed party favors: How To Make Heart-Shaped Eco-Friendly Birdseed Party Favors

Bird Seed Heart Favors

  • 3 cups of any birdseed
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 1 envelope of gelatin
  • 3 tbsp light corn syrup
  • chopsticks
  • cookie cutter in the shape of a heart
  • jute
  • favor bags
  • tags
  • birthday stamp

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, water, gelatin, and corn syrup.
  2. Add the birdseed to mixture.
  3. Spray the sides of the cookie-cutter with non-stick spray and fill it with birdseed mixture
  4. Press firmly.
  5. Stick the chopstick in the mixture and create a hole.
  6. Slide off the cookie cutter and let dry overnight.
  7. After they have dried, cut 10 inches of jute for each heart.
  8. String the jute through the hole and tie once around.
  9. Place the heart into a pretty bag and tie a tag around it.
  10. Since this is a birthday party, I used a “Happy Birthday” stamp.

    Love feeding the birds and simple feeders make it even more special. I love these cookie cutter hearts – would be fun to do in the shape of butterflies too. The bird activity has been amazing at our place. I currently have this baby female cardinal that comes to visit at the window almost everyday. She perches on the lawn chair then gives a loud chirp, I come to the window she gets real quiet and chirps again then flies over the bird bath and goes on her way. It’s so neat.. If it wasn’t so hot I would sit outside and wait for her and catch a photo.

      Carole, it has be so cute to watch the birds come around and pick at the heart, I don’t know much about the type of birds but they are small and adorable! Will need to get a photo, but its hard to take one, its to far or they leave when i get closer. Thanks for stopping by. Maria
