I wonder if the are easy to make? It’s not like you could use glue? Any ideas?

I googled. There are recipes for gelatin, marshmallows (really? for birds?!) and suet (smelly? dunno.)

They’re super cute!

I LOVE those.  My husband loves birds, so we always have feeders out.  I’d love to get this favor!

I found a tutorial online and it said you get a heart shaped cookie cutter, put it on a flat surface.. fill it about 1/2 way with seeds and then put a layer of peanut butter, press it down into the seeds, put another layer of seeds on top of the PB and press those seeds into the peanut butter. I don’t see how that would come out as clean as this though!

So then I looked up how to make a bird feeder bell because they are a strange shape and figured I’d just apply that process to making these favors… I found another tut about using egg whites and the oven to somehow keep it together… I’m not sure. I wanted to contact the etsy seller to see how she made them but i thought it’d be rude, so I didn’t!

Those are great! Hmm… I agree with you LLauRRa: using peanut butter would probably be a lot messier than how the seller made hers. I think the egg white/baking technique would be more effective!

Cute idea though! If anyone comes up with the perfect recipe, let us know please!!

I saw these at a craft show once.  She had used cardboard cut outs, covered with peanut butter and then pressed the seeds into it.  She was selling them well tied with little gingham ribbons at the top.  They were done on both sides so I guess you do one side and flip over slather with peanut butter and do that side.  She had them bagged in cello bags.

Those are adorable, especially if you were having a rustic-y wedding!
