Create a Winter Bird Buffet

This outdoor decoration is easy enough for children to handle after an adult uses a knife to hollow out a bowl inside the apple.

To make this project: Insert four nails evenly spaced about halfway down the side, leaving the nailheads out about a quarter-inch from the skin. Mix birdseed with enough peanut butter to evenly coat the seeds. Spoon the mixture into the apple cup. Cut four equal lengths of raffia (about 14 to 16 inches long) and attach one string to each nail. Tie the ends together at the top to hang from a tree or hook.
