Making a pinecone bird feeder may qualify as the quickest craft project ever. As I’ve said before, I find many crafts challenging, but this one was super simple. We did it on a “boring” rainy day and the kids loved it. (Mine are obsessed with animals and art projects, so it was perfect.)

Things you’ll need:

• pinecone (at least medium sized & clean)
• 2 TBS. peanut butter
• paper plate
• 1/2 cup birdseed
• heavy duty string (approximately 1-2 feet long)

Tie the string around the entire pine cone, gathering at the top. Fasten into a long loop for a handle. Pour bird seed onto a paper plate. Cover the cone with peanut butter, then roll in the seed. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm. Once firm, it’s ready to be hung outside from a tree branch, fence, or pole.

See, I told you that wasn’t hard…

Have you made any quick crafts lately? I’d love to try them!
