Bird Seed Layered Jar Gift
This quick and easy layered jar using bird seed makes a thoughtful gift for the bird lover in your life.
Yield: 1 Gift Jar
Equipment:
- Large Glass Jar with Lid (I used a 2 Quart Size)
- Measuring Cup
- Canning Jar Funnel (Not necessary but very helpful!)
Materials:
- Two Types of Bird Seed that contrast in color
- Ribbon or Cord for Embellishment
Instructions:
- Begin by pouring about 1½ cups of the first type of bird seed into the jar.
- Layer another 1½ cups of the second type of bird seed.
- Continue with these alternating layers until the jar is filled. (If you use a 2 quart jar it will hold about 9 to 10 cups of seed and you should get six or seven layers of seed).
- Screw the lid on your jar and finish by adding a label and/or some ribbon to your jar.
Notes:
The lighter colored seed I used was KayTee Seed & Suet No Mess Blend, and the darker colored seed was Better Bird Nut N' Berry.
