Sticky gelatin holds seeds to a cardboard base for a wreath that birds can peck away at for weeks. Save this project for winter: Unless temperatures are below or close to freezing, the gelatin may slide off the base. If your winter temps hover in the fifties or above, you can substitute peanut butter for the gelatin to make a reasonable facsimile.

Materials

Piece of corrugated cardboard

Packet of clear gelatin

2 quarts of mixed seeds and nuts

Length of wirer

Bow or cluster of California pepperberries (optional)

1. Cut a circle of corrugated cardboard to a diameter of 10 inches

2. Mix packet of clear gelatin according to the package directions.

3. Pour 2 quarts of seeds and nuts into the gelatin.

4. Stir to coat the seed mixture. If the mixture is too loose and doesn't hold together when you squeeze a handful, add more seed.

5. Mold by hand onto the cardboard form.

6. Attach a loop of wire for hanging. Attach a bow or cluster of California pepperberries for decoration, if desired.
