This afternoon my daughter and I attempted another Pinterest challenge!
I came across this idea a few days ago and thought it would be the perfect thing to do with some of our leftover pumpkins. Plus this was something fun that my daughter could help me with.
We started by cutting a cleaned out pumpkin in half. Then filled it with bird seed and used some jute rope to string it to the tree {we were quite the scene trying to attach that rope to our tiny tree}!
My helper {she thought she looked like a lion}.
The first time we used a large pumpkin without thinking that it had to hang in our wee little tree. Luckily we also had a small pumpkin that was the perfect size!
It was a quick and simple project to do with my daughter, can't beat that!

Great idea! I have a pumpkin already cleaned out that I put outside for the squirrels, but I will go do this!

Looks like so much fun as well as being quick and easy. I bet the birds are loving it! Unfortunately here it is still too warm for cut pumpkins. My son's jack o'lantern rotted in 2 days and was thrown away before halloween. We do have some small ones though that haven't been cut into that I'll hold onto for cooler weather (hopefully soon! 91 degrees yesterday) and then we will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteYes here in Ohio it is cold enough to keep the pumpkins. Almost a week later and it is still holding up! Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is the food featured for Pin Me at Diana Rambles this week. I pinned you again and tweeted your win!
