Christmas Decorations for an Outdoor Tree for the Critters
 
  • Popcorn balls, perhaps studded with raisins
     
  • Thin spirals of orange peel
     
  • Dried apple rings
     
  • Fresh orange slices (a good way to use not-so-fresh oranges!)
     
  • Tiny wreaths made of dried apple pieces threaded together in a "bracelet"
     
  • Wreath-shaped dried apple slices tied with a ribbon
     
  • Garlands made from: popcorn, cranberries, dried bread cubes, dried carrot slices, cereals (e.g., little O’s!), those old dried-up marshmallows sitting in the back of the cupboard
     
  • Little peanut-butter cookie shapes (gingerbread men with raisin eyes/buttons?)
     
  • Tiny waffles (some Scandinavian waffle irons or Italian pizzelle irons make perfect small shapes that you can wire to branches)
     
  • Stale bread slices cut into fun shapes
     
  • Pretzels!
     
  • Half-orange suet feeders (see "More Suet Feeders" under Bird houses/feeders)
     
  • Ice cream cones filled with suet and seeds (or just seeds)
     
  • Pine cones spread with peanut butter and rolled in millet-type birdseed (fasten onto a sturdy branch with wire)
     
  • Small sheaves of wheat
     
  • Dried mushrooms (squirrels dry their own, did you know?)
