How to make birdseed cookie cutter ornaments

• Mix together 2 packages of gelatin with 1/3 cup water. Either use boiling water or heat this on the stove to dissolve the gelatin.
• Then once the gelatin is dissolved, mix in 2 cups of birdseed.
• Place cookie cutters onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Spray the cookie cutters with oil. This helps the bird seed cakes slide out once cool.
• Press and tap the mixture and fill the cookie cutters with the wet birdseed mix.
• Then, insert a straw into the shapes. The straw helps make a hole for stringing once hardened.
• Place the tray of birdseed cakes somewhere cool like the fridge or outside.
• Once the gelatin has hardened you can remove the straws and slide the cakes out of the cookie cutter shapes.
• Insert a ribbon or piece of string for hanging.
