Valentine's Day bird seed ornaments

These birdseed ornaments are super fun to make, so let me tell you what you will need.

Supplies:

  • cookie cutters
  • skewer
  • ribbon

I lined a baking sheet with wax paper so I could easily move the cookie cutters to a safe place to set up.

I used cooking spray I had on hand and sprayed each cookie cutter well so the mixture would not stick.
