St. Francis of Assisi~ Bird Feeder Craft

The prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy; O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

To celebrate Saint Francis of Assisi, the kids and I made bird feeders to feed the friends of Saints Francis.

What you'll need:

• Pine cone
• Baggy 
• Butter knife
• Smooth peanut butter
• Birdseed
• Ribbon or yarn
• Scissors

 

How to make it:

 

• Cut a long length of yarn or ribbon to hang the bird feeder.
• Tie the ribbon in a knot around the pine cone near the top (about 3 sections down).

• Use the knife to spread peanut butter inside the pine cone and around the edges.
• Put the pine cone in a plastic baggy filled with birdseed. shake it around until the pine cone is covered.  
• Hang the bird feeder on the tree.
• Enjoy watching the birds eat their treat.
