I chose a small cedar tree in our yard,
and gathered some materials I had on hand.
jute
pinecones
apples
oranges
birdseed
peanut butter
cranberries
peanuts
ribbon
thread
needle
I dried some apples (a few hours in a 200 degree oven)
and used jute to make them into ornaments.
I used some hollowed out clementines to make little birdseed holders.
I strung some peanuts and
apple slices.
Tied a few gingham bows.
This birdseed bell was the only thing I purchased for the tree.
Just couldn't pass it up when I saw it!
Of course I added a peanut butter bird seed pine cone. :-)
And I strung some cranberries.
(I read that birds don't need popcorn - it's empty calories and not good for them.)
I loaded everything up and headed out to decorate!
I hope to see some birds (and not just squirrels and raccoons!) enjoying their special tree. :-)
