Using just the peel, attach&nbsp;three or four strings through little holes in the side of the orange to create a hanging&nbsp;basket shape. Fill it with bird seed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Attach a loop of string to a pine cone and dip it in honey and cover it in bird seed.&nbsp;Then hang it by the loop.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thread air-popped popcorn (no salt or other toppings) onto string using a needle. Hang it like tinsel or garland. This one can be very pretty!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mix suet bird seed (nice and thick!), squish it into cookie cutters, and push the&nbsp;shapes out onto greaseproof paper. Partly unwind a paperclip and stick it in each&nbsp;shape to create a hole for hanging. Pop your shapes in the freezer to set. Once&nbsp;they\u2019ve set, hang them on string. Voila, edible ornaments!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Instead of composting, halve and hang up old fruit by attaching string \u2013 even if it is&nbsp;bruised or partly rotten!
