I just LOVE experimenting with various leftover materials in my craft stash and today’s Clothespin Fall Owl tutorial is sure to be a HOOT-TASTIC craft to recreate with your child today!!! #gluedtomycrafts

As I was digging through my fall materials getting ready to share some AMAZING tutorials for you guys on Glued To My Crafts, I came across a HUGE bag of leftover plastic leaves from last year {I always stock up at Dollar Tree this time of year!}

After playing around with various ideas in my head and later realizing I have WAYYYY too many wooden clothespins to my name as well – I came up with this Fall Themed Clothespin Owl idea. The decorative plastic leaves give a nice “wing” look and it really pulled everything nicely together, just like I had envisioned. Hopefully you see the “idea” as well!

If I’ve convinced you and you want to recreate these “owl-tastic” clothespin puppet pieces, keep scrolling to check out the full tutorial below.

Then use your newly made owl puppets as festive decor, pretend play pieces for the kids or even use them as gift tags for your upcoming fall celebrations. Whatever you decide to do with your owl masterpieces, I hope you have fun doing it!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us our your clothespin fall owls, on our Facebook page! Now on to the tutorial with a few more scrolls! #gluedtomycrafts
