• stale bread
• cookie cutters, knife, or scissors
• peanut butter
• yarn
• pretzels, donuts
• orange halves, scooped out
• suet and seed

Make a festive gift for the birds:

1. Begin by cutting stale bread into pretty shapes with scissors, cookie cutter, or a knife.
2. Spread bread with peanut butter. (Then press this into a tray of bird seed, if you like.)
3. Hang the edible ornaments from a tree outside with yarn (which birds will use for nests later).

Add other treats, too:

1. Scoop out an orange half, fill with suet and seed, and place in crook of a tree branch.
2. Hang stale donuts or pretzels from branches.
3. Watch from your window and enjoy the feeling of giving.

1. Fill a net bag with "bird-pudding" and hang from tree: mixture of suet or vegetable shortening, peanut butter, eggs, seeds, bread, leftover meats, or any other thing birds enjoy.
2. Fill a piece of netting with dryer lint for nesting materials.
