[…] buy edible gelatine in bulk to make homemade bird feeders, but you could also use Knox brand plain gelatin, vegan gelatin or even a sugar-free cherry Jell-O […]

I made this and afterwards I discovered the comments about the gelatin issues. My gelatin was entirely too thick and rubbery. It never became remotely pourable.
After this fiasco, I looked up other recipes that added the gelatin in with the flour, corn syrup, and water.
I am so disappointed. I just ended up with a blob I had to just dump out onto a plate.

Hi Sue,
I’m so sorry – that is incredibly frustrating. If it’s very cold outside where you are, I would probably try to freeze the wreath and then hang it frozen (if it will stay frozen outside).
We make this wreath almost every year, and while it normally works perfectly we also had one year where it came out a bit softer like what you’re describing. I don’t know if it was our bird seed – I wonder if older seed would be retaining moisture which would affect the wreath being able to set properly?
The birds (and squirrels) will still love it if it’s just placed outside and not hung up, but I know it’s still disappointing!

In reply to Nell Regan Kartychok. I made this exactly as instructed and let it sit in the fridge overnight. It came out of the bunt pan nicely but it has not set... if I were to pick it up I think it would fall apart. Help!!!

This is beautiful, but I’ve tried the gelatin wreath several times and it dissolves in the rain. Better go with the diet.

In reply to Kristie. I think that should be fine! I've only ever used a metal bundt pan but I think silicone will work, and those sound perfect!

Is it ok to use silicone bundt pans for this? Was going to do the mini bundts and I have a silicone pan with a few different shapes that would look cute for mini wreaths/ornaments. Thanks! I just love these and can’t wait to do them with my daughter.

You might want to add a clarification that this wreath is only for very cold temps and needs to be moved outside right from the fridge. I set mine on the counter for maybe an hour after having refrigerated it overnight and it was a squashy mess. Squirrels loved it though (wouldn’t let the birds even get close) and my son thought the making–and watching the squirrels eat over the next few days–was great fun! 🙂

Also, I had the same issue as the other commenters–I used powdered gelatin (Knox brand “Original Gelatine”) and the water you suggest wasn’t even close to dissolving the powder, much less at all making something “spreadable.” Started over and with 5 packets (1 oz. each to total approx. 1/2 cup as you suggest) I probably used at least 1 full cup of water but I just kept adding it until I could get it all dissolved.
