Bird Seed Cups

Ingredients
1 Cup boiling water
small packet edible clear gelatin
Bird seed
lengths of string or twine, knotted at one end and with a loop on the other end for hanging outside

Directions
Pour boiling water into a pot and add gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Once it has cooled, add the birdseed. Place one knotted length of string into the mold, then quickly spoon the mixture around it, filling the cup half-way. Press down firmly so the string is firmly in place in the middle of the cup and the seed is tightly packed. Take extra care pressing down the edges so all the seed sets securely. Continue until all the molds are filled.
