Wax Paper Bird-seed Packets

My kids and I watched “Mary Poppins” recently and even my 3-year-old has been walking around the house singing, “Feeeed the birds, toppins a bag…toppins…toppins…”

With this in mind I created these  little bird-seed packets.  They are made of pieces of wax paper, folded and taped along the edges with double-stick tape.  With pre-cut tags and clip-art birds, these were pretty easy to put together.

I added a few other embellishments like feathers and stuff, you know, for the pictures.  🙂

Depending on the size of the piece of wax paper you tear off, you can make the packets different sizes.

Wouldn’t these make cute party favors? Or perhaps a party craft at a ‘bird’ themed party? The bird lover would surely appreciate a basket full.

If the stick on this one looks like something I just picked up off the ground outside, it’s because it is.

I thought it looked cool threaded through the edges of the tag.

Wax paper tears easily so the tops of the packets can be torn off and re-used as bookmarks, card embellishments, mood board elements, etc. after the birds are fed.

Have a beautiful weekend!
