Yesterday we made some ornaments for the birds. We took some small aluminum pie tins and filled them up with cranberries, orange slices and water. We added string to hang them from and put them outside overnight to freeze. Voila! These are some of my favorite ornaments to make-they're easy, they look nice and the animals get to eat up the fruit when they melt.

Hi there, I think your kids will love the oranges; I've never met one who didn't. I love the ornaments. We made these to hang in trees like snowflakes and we made wreaths with bundt pans. Awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm going to have a look around your blog now. Merry christmas

ReplyDeleteooooh - we made decorative ones last year with a plastic plate mold that were beautiful - but I didn't think to put orange slices and cranberries in them! Great idea! :)
