Colorful Crocheted Owl Ornaments

Categories: Kid Friendly, Crochet, Holiday, Winter

Looking for a quick and cute little ornament for your Christmas tree? Well look no further, these cute and colorful little crocheted owls work up really fast and can be made in whatever colors you choose. For a fun, whimsical look you can go with bright colors like I did. If you want a little bit more woodsy look you can make them in browns or even all white for a snowy owl. Stuffed with Poly-Fil they are really light which is perfect for hanging on the tree. The bodies are crocheted in one piece with the wings sewn on afterward. Felt eyes and beaks are glued on and then a string is added to the top for hanging.
