The Enchanting Winter Woodland Owl Wreath is my second entry for WHRL’s 2021 Winter Tree Festival. Inspired by a wreath I spotted on Pinterest, I scoured the woods for some young trees with thumb-sized branches. Four lengths snipped 14″ long were left to dry for a couple of weeks. Paul used a brad nailer to tack the corners for me to form the window.
I used two Hobby Lobby artificial juniper bushes and divided them into sprigs that I hot-glued to the back of the branch frame.
My Long-eared Owl is enlarged to 6″ tall from ears to tail. A tiny hole drilled into the bottom branch holds a firm wire that supports the felt owl.
I embellished the top with baking soda/corn starch clay stars—more about those here. This was a super simple project that can be enjoyed all year long.
There are three more weekends to the festival. What comes next?
Beautiful Work!!
Thank you!
That is really pretty! I’m thinking a Snowy Owl in a triangle shaped set of branches for my wall! Always fun to receive your emails – Stacy

I have a friend who would keep your lovely wreath up 365 days a year.
ADORABLE.
