This make is easy and fun but you'll need a grown-up to core the apple for you.

Step 1

Thread the string through the hole in the apple.

Step 2

Make an 'X' with the sticks and tie them to the string so the apple sits on top.

Step 3

Make a pattern by pushing the seeds into the apple, then it's ready to hang up!

Have some warm, soapy water ready once you finish as the mix can be messy!

Step 1

Mush together the seeds, lard, cheese and raisins in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Tie a string to your pine cone then cover it with the mix. Don't forget to fill the holes!

Step 3

Pop it in the fridge until set, then it's ready for the birds!

You'll need a grown-up to help with this one!

Step 1

Ask a grown-up to cut cubes of apple and cheese.

Step 2

Be very careful and ask a grown-up to help you thread fruit and cheese onto the wire like a necklace.

Step 3

Make a hoop with the wire and tie it to some string. Ready!
