Make a Bird Wreath

This wreath is for the birds! It's not just another craft... it's a wreath for your feathered friends!

1. Go out for a walk in a park, woods, or field. Look for things that birds might like to eat. Collect seedpods, grass heads, pine cones, berries, and other plant parts.
    
2. Get a ready-made grapevine wreath from a craft store. Weave what you've collected into the wreath. Stuff pine cones with a mixture of suet and birdseed and tie them on with string or wire. If you like, you can tie on slices of dried fruit, too.
    
3. Hang the wreath outside on your house or on a tree. Watch for birds to find the feast. If you leave the wreath up until spring, birds may collect what’s left to build their nests, too. Enjoy the show!
