Pine Cone Owl
Make this little owl using a pine cone - submitted by Bev.

Materials Needed:

  • Pine cones
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Felt cut into triangles for ears and one slightly larger for nose.
  • Worn, smooth wood that sits evenly for base
  • Strong glue
Instructions:
When making owls, lay the base wood or branch so it sits evenly on your work surface. On top of the wood, glue one or more pine cones, pointed side down; each pine cone will be an owl's body. Next, place a cone vertically on top of the first pine cone as the head, and glue the ears, eyes, and beak on each owl (onto the flatter, top side of the pine cone). Make sure the cone is glued well to the bottom cone.

You will find these amazingly cute. I made a bunch for a country fair and could not believe how quickly they sold. Now I need to make some for my own home!
