Easy to Make Bird Seed Wreath

Bird Seed Wreath



Have you ever seen wild birds eat from a from bird seed wreath?

I love bird feeders, but there is something special about watching birds feed in a more natural setting. An edible bird wreath is a beautiful addition to any backyard bird feeding station.

The best thing is that you can easily make your own.

This is a great project to do with kids of any age. Getting children involved in birding is the best way to get them interested in nature.

When following the directions below, do not be afraid to substitute any item for what is available to you. There are many ways to customise your wreath depending on the season or what items are available in your area. You can even make adjustments to attract different wild birds.

I have attracted woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and orioles, just to name a few.
In the fall you can use wild grain, corn, wild berries, wild grapes or even flowers like purple coneflowers or sunflowers.

In the spring and summer you can cover it with fresh fruit.




If you prefer, you can purchase a bird seed wreath that is made for you.

You will truly be impressed by the quality and uniqueness of these beautiful organic birdfeeders.

Each of these beautiful creations are grown and made right in our nation's heartland.

We have a large selection of beautiful bird seed wreaths in our bird store, The One Stop Bird Shop.

Step Four:

Use a nail to make two small holes in the sunflower seed heads. Cut two pieces of florist wire about 10 inches long. Push each end of the wire through the holes in the seed head from the top. Then attach the seed heads to the bird seed wreath on each side of the grass stems. Make a loop using the wire and attach it to the back of the wreath to make a hanger.
