Model 8365 Making your birdseed ornaments to deco- rate the yard and take care of feathery friends is easy. What you need: ■ A cookie sheet ■ Wax paper ■ A mixing bowl ■ 3/4 cup flour ■ 1/2 cup water ■ 3 tablespoons corn syrup ■ 4 cups birdseed ■ Cookie cutters ■ Cooking spray ■ Straws ■ Twine ■ Scissors What to do: 1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. 2. Add flour, water and corn syrup togeth- er in a mixing bowl. Make sure it's combined well. 3. Once the liquid mixture is smooth and creamy, slowly add the birdseed. Mix to combine. 4. Pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet. Using your hands, press the mixture until it's flat and even. The birdseed dough should be roughly 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. 5. Coat the edges of your cookie cutters with cooking spray. Then, press the cookie cutters into the birdseed mixture. 6. Next, poke a hole (for hanging) through each ornament with a straw. Allow the bird- seed to rest in the cookie cutters for 8 hours. 7. Once set, remove your birdseed orna- ments from the cookie cutters. 8. Loop a piece of twine through each ornament. Then, head outside and hang them up on the nearest tree. In no time at all, wild birds will stop by to nibble on these pretty pieces. (StatePoint) — It's the most festive time of the year. Be sure to fill your home with the classic scents, sounds and sights of the holiday season in the following ways. 1. Start a holiday cookie tradition. Bring the family together by baking cook- ies. Not only will it fill the home with a scrumptious aroma, it's a fun activity that can involve everyone. Let kids get creative and decorate their own batch. In the spirit of giving, make some extras to share with friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers and more. 2. Sing carols. Carol from the comfort of home. To experience a sense of commu- nity, organize an at-home holiday sing- along. An elegant, compact digital piano such as Casio's Privia PX-770 is great for this seasonal tradition. Record your per- for mances for posterity using its two- track MIDI recorder. 3. Display greetings. For a festive feel, creatively decorate your home using your holiday cards with greetings from loved ones. String cards together and hang them in the doorway, decorate the fridge or dis- play them on the mantel. 4. Get into the spirit. Frosty pine, sugar cookies, cinnamon and more. Fill your home with the spirit of the holidays using essential oils and candles of classic holiday scents. Or, keep it natural and boil cinnamon sticks with orange and cloves. 5. Enjoy your favorite flicks. From classic dramas to contemporary comedies, the holiday genre is eclectic. Set up a home theater and enjoy your favorite films with some hot chocolate under a cozy blanket. To get an upgraded movie theater-like experience at home, check out the projec- tors from Casio's LampFree lineup, which offer reliable, brilliant images. At your next holiday party, consider projecting movies silently while playing holiday music for an extra boost of cheer.
