More Crafts on a Budget

This has been a summer of hands on projects. And on a budget.

For the Fourth of July we went to a friend's house for a party. On the way out, I noticed a number of pine cones under a tree in her front yard. I told Clinton he could grab a few and we could make something out of them later. He gathered up three and we talked about them all the way home.

For the craft, the only thing my tired head could come up with was bird feeders. Of course, we had already done some with toilet paper rolls, but those were long gone and Clinton loved watching the progress of the bird seed disappear...and occasionally getting to see a bird eating on one.

So, we turned our pine cones into bird feeders. Once again using peanut butter and bird seed for the body, and some ribbon to tie it up. Clinton loved them...and they were super easy.

One...

Two...

Three!!!
