Creating Fall Owls From Christmas Tree Ornaments

 

I've been wanting some cute little owls to add to my fall decor and have been seeing a lot of them, but they tend to be dressed up for the winter holidays.  That's no problem though, with a bit of creative re-style Christmas intended ornaments can easily be transitioned for fall.  Here is how I did mine:

I started with these winter/ Christmas themed owl ornaments.  The top two are from Dollar Tree, the bottom three from Walmart.

The first thing that I did was to remove all traces of winter holiday decor by gently pulling off the attached fabrics, pinecones and other accessories.  Most of the owls looked just fine, though the little guy on the top was rough where his plaid fabric had been removed.  I used a bit of chocolate brown acrylic paint to cover up his issues and reattached his nose with hot glue 😊  

Since my owls would no longer be hanging ornaments, I needed a way to help prop them up so they could sit independently without falling over.  I dug into my craft supplies and found these small wood cuttings (Dollar Tree) and bird nests (thrift store find).  I removed all of the plastic eggs and leaves from the nests so that they would have room to hold an owl as well as looking more fallish.

Here you can see my little guys sitting nicely in their nests or upon their log posts (with a good amount of hot glue).  Cute as they were, I wanted to add just a little bit more fall and so pulled out some fabric fall leaves to add.

I decided to go with smaller, darker leaves as opposed to the large orange ones and attached a few here and there, some at the top with others below.

Here are a couple of close up photos:

Aren't they cute?!

The little gray one is my favorite 😍
