Owls have been quite the rage in home decor for awhile now. I wanted to create a sweet and simple decorative item to represent a new little family that had been formed with the birth of a baby. I thought that a sweet little owl family wine cork craft resting in their “nest” was just the thing.
I made this DIY Wine Cork Owl Family Wreath entirely out of items I already had on hand in my craft stash, so this was a free upcycled craft. I used a small 6” wreath, but if you want to add more than 3 owls you will want a bigger wreath as mine just fit. You can even customize your wreath to match your home decor colors. This would be a sweet addition to a woodland themed nursery or as a housewarming gift for a new family just starting out.
DIY Wine Cork Owl Family Wreath
Materials:
- grapevine wreath
- wine corks
- small buttons
- ½” ribbon
- ¼” ribbon
- burlap ribbon
- popcorn kernels
- glue gun/sticks
Directions:
1. If you are making small owls to represent little ones cut your wine cork in half with a serrated knife.
2. Cut two 2” pieces of ribbon for each big owl and 1 ½ “ pieces for the little ones. Fold them in half and secure cut ends together with hot glue.
3. Glue on 2 small buttons for eyes, a kernel of popcorn for the beak (pointed end down), and your glued ribbon wings.
4. Tie a burlap ribbon hanger onto the top of your wreath, I cut mine at about 12″ so that it hung approximately 5″ down after folding and tying off the end.
5. Secure your owl family with a generous amount of hot glue, holding each owl in place for about 2 minutes until glue sets. Otherwise they will move. Place them as you wish inside the wreath or you could also add a monogram if would you like to personalize it further.
