If you love a more rustic holiday look, enjoy watching birds, or are trying to have a more eco-friendly holiday season, consider making edible decorations for wildlife to adorn the trees in your yard. Here are some ideas:
- Stale, seed-covered bread ornaments can make for great edible decorations for your outdoor trees. Cut the bread with festive cookie cutters, coat with peanut butter, and cover it with wild bird seed. String it from your trees with cotton thread and watch the birds enjoy their holiday treat!
- String some garlands around your trees made with cranberries and unbuttered popcorn. This is a great craft for kids and makes a beautiful decoration.
- If you have an old wooden bird house lying around, consider turning it into a holiday feast for the birds. Spread peanut butter thickly along the outside of the house and cover with bird seed.
