Here’s a cute handmade owl idea that looks like it’s perched on a tree branch.
Stick googly eye stickers onto the flat bottom of a pine cone.
Cut out feet from felt (or similar), insert them into the pine cone, and glue on curled, narrow dried leaves as decorative feathers.
Then place the owl on a suitable small twig, and it’s done.
This idea looks even cuter if you make several owls using the same steps and line them up, rather than making just one.
Try finding some small pine cones and give it a go.
a pinecone owl wrapped with yarn
Here’s a handmade owl craft idea that also helps with finger dexterity.
Prepare a pine cone and wrap a long piece of yarn around it.
Secure it so it doesn’t come undone, then attach felt pieces for the eyes and beak, and you’re done.
Using a single color of yarn works, but combining several colors makes a cute, colorful owl.
You can also add a string to hang it as a Christmas ornament.
Try making your own unique owl!
Snowy Owl ornament
Here’s an idea for a fluffy, cute owl decoration.
Cover the entire pine cone that serves as the owl’s base with small pieces of cotton.
Attach the cotton by tucking it between the scales of the cone.
Drizzle liquid glue over the top and sprinkle on sequins.
Make a base for the eyes out of cotton and glue it on, then place eye stickers on top.
Finally, add the beak to finish.
You’ll have a sparkling, very cute owl—perfect as a winter decoration.
Owl made of felt and pine cones
Here’s an idea for making owls using pine cones and felt.
Use a pine cone as the base for the owl.
Cut the owl’s eyes, beak, wings, and facial parts from your choice of felt.
Once you glue the parts onto the base, it’s complete.
Using felt in various colors will make your owl look vibrant.
It’s a fun idea that brings out each maker’s individuality.
Try adding patterns to the wings or designing the eyes to evoke a bird of prey.
Hero Owl
If you want to make an owl that’s a little different from the usual, how about this hero-inspired idea? Use a pine cone as the base.
Cut the face and wing parts out of felt, but add a twist! Instead of using ordinary brown felt, imagine a hero’s decorations and craft the pieces with armor- and shield-like designs.
Even the cute eyes can take on a cool, raptor-like look by adding just one extra piece.
Finish it as your ideal hero owl.
Owl made of horse chestnuts and pine cones
Here’s an idea for making an owl using a pine cone, horse chestnut shells, and tree branches.
Cut off the base of the pine cone and attach sticker eyes.
Use the split horse chestnut shells to add decorative feathers, a beak, side wings, and back feathers.
Make feet on a base using small twigs, then glue on the owl body you just made.
Your pine cone owl is complete.
You’ll be cutting the horse chestnut shells with scissors, so please be careful not to get hurt.
You can also use a colored ginkgo nut for the beak.

A beautiful owl made with yarn and pine cones
Perfect for winter decorations! Here’s a beautiful owl idea that can also be used as an ornament.
Glue a looped string to the bottom of a pine cone for hanging.
Wrap yarn around your fingers several times, tie the center with string to make a bow, then attach it at the base of the string you just glued.
Add a yarn ball for the beak and a tassel-shaped piece of yarn for the back wings.
For the side wings, make pom-poms and glue them on.
For the eyes, wrap yarn around your fingers like the bow to form rings, then stitch or weave more yarn around the rings and place a black bead in the center.
Attach the eyes to the front of the pine cone, and you’re done.
