heart shaped bird feeder favors- input? - HippyMom - An Evolution of Female Community Parenting Board

i'm going to make these:Heart-Shaped Bird Feeder DIY | Alphamom to double as decor and favors at the wedding but i'm wondering 2 things:

1: if i start making them now will the gelatin hold up over the next 10 months if i store them somewhere cool/dry?

2: the directions say to take the cookie cutter out after the thing is set, but i only have 1 cookie cutter... do you think the foil used to wrap under and around the cutter will be enough to hold the shape so as to make batches of them instead of 1 heart at a time over a period of who knows how long?

1) idk - sorry
2) i'm gonna guess not b/c they mentioned that they had to put theirs in the freezer for an hour to help it set before they could try to remove the cutter.

Could you do other shapes besides hearts ? Star, moon, circle etc..... ? I think you would need to keep them in the mold.

I talked to future SIL and will borrow some of the playdoh cookie cutters (she has a huge rubbermaid full of them

). not sure what shapes yet. She's got some letters, though, so we could do our initials.

do a test run and find out. maybe if you saran wrap or wax paper tightly them after they are set, they would keep in the freezer. only way to know is to try...go forth and experiment!
