step 2

Cover a pinecone with the mixture, or fill the inside of a coconut shell with it. You could even use a yoghurt pot (making sure there aren’t any sharp corners).  

Step 3

Hang the pinecone or coconut shell from a tree or porch with string. If you’re using a yoghurt pot, you can pop it on an outside table.
