If you build it...they will come:
I was inspired by Appalachian Lady:
to make a bird feeder wreath.
I used two grapevine wreaths.
I rolled pine cones in peanut butter and then in bird seed
I rolled pine cones in peanut butter and then in bird seed
and also added some millet.
Stuffed some peanuts in.....
And they came!I have one hanging on each side of my deck.
I'm normally not very crafty...and they aren't the best looking....
but they do the job!
Super cool idea, and I know the birds are grateful.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful idea. I'm looking at my deck now deciding where to hang one. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that Blue Jay!
I made a wreath for the birds too. I hadn't thought to put peanuts in the wreath! That is a sure way to get the blue jay to land on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea...I may have to get one up on our deck!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the squirrels? They would dismantle that in 2 minutes in my yard. I like the look of the wreath and will have to give some thought to how I can make one for birds only.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to make birds feel welcome in your yard. Thanks for sharing this idea, Kerri. It's a good one!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - and the most perfect post title. Very apt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Splendid how many birds came...I really need to do this.
ReplyDeletewow! fabulous, excellent idea the birds are so happy..
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I have some grape vine wreaths I made a few years ago just laying around. Guess what I'm going to do with them? Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteB.
Well it looks like they work. Maybe I need to make a couple and put them in my yard in hopes of trying to get some to come and eat!
ReplyDeleteYour blue jay looks very happy about your crafty creation and looks good accented with it too.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That second photo is a stunner! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteLovin' Macro Monday,

Delightful idea and the sweet birds seem to love it too. Clever idea.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's wonderful, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteKerri--glad you were inspired to do this. I have something in mind for my wreath for Valentime's Day. Will try to get this done soon. Wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteOooh these pictures are fantastic, good idea.
ReplyDeleteIt looks bird approved! How fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea... not just practical but beautiful....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome back Kerri... ;o)
How cool. The millet spray adds a nice touch. It looks like you're a hit with those Titmice!
ReplyDeleteYou done good! Ü Beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful shots. A springy, lovely scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the last pic - it looks like the little chap is very happy with your efforts! :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea.. and a wonderful shot of the Jay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'll have to remember this one. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis wreath is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe birds feel very welcome there, I guess.
Wonderful.
How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe wreaths look good to me and the jay looks like he really enjoys the food.
ReplyDeleteI really like your wreaths! and may need to try that myself. The squirrels may get it here too, but you know I like to watch them too.
ReplyDeleteThose wreaths are a very neat idea! What a great way to invite birds to your house so you can get some beautiful photos. It's a win-win situation for everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots! I love both photos but the second one is my favorite! I am impressed, indeed!
ReplyDeleteit's a win-win situation :)
ReplyDeletegreat job on the feeder wreath and pictures!
Oh Kerri...thank you so much for sending me this link. I LOVE your wreath and will have to try one of those soon! My son wants the pinecone wreath for inside but I'm going to make some of yours...just for me...well...and the birds! :)
