Homemade Birdseed Wreath

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Did you know that it’s even more important to feed birds during the winter than in the summer? In the summer they can find their own food, but in the winter, bugs, berries, and seeds are scarce. On top of that, birds tend to use up energy quickly during the winter, as they have to put so much of it toward staying warm. Help your backyard birds out by making your own inexpensive and pretty Homemade Birdseed Wreath!

I just used a normal round Bundt pan for my wreath, but you could use any shape Bundt pan you want. You could even used a heart-shaped Bundt pan for a pretty Valentine’s Day birdseed wreath! Or you could use different sized Bundt pans, mixing some small Bundt pans with the classic sized ones. The important part is just that your wreaths have holes in the middle, so you can loop the ribbon through them to hang them.

    Is it safe to use the bundt pan for personal baking?

      Not sure why it wouldn’t be? I assume you’ll wash it before using it for baking, but bundt pans are easy to find in thrift stores if you want to just have one dedicated to this.
