I decided to use the pinecones we found on our hike for an easy DIY project I had seen on Lowe's Creative Ideas.
You can use pinecones or cut out cardboard shapes (here are some fun templates).
I used twine and tied it around the tips of the pinecone a couple of times with enough twine left for hanging.
We hung them in the backyard and now are patiently... waiting for birds to stop by.
