There are a lot of DIY wreaths that you can learn how to make online, but my personal favorite is this one by This Southern Girl Can on YouTube. What I love about this project is the fact that you only need a felt owl form and a few bags of maple leaves to piece this together. It’s a very simple decor and it’s more inexpensive than others because the materials that you will need can be found in the nearest Dollar or craft store. Go ahead and watch the video tutorial to learn how and give it a try!
Materials:
- Felt owl cutout, Dollar Tree
- Artificial maple leaves
- Artificial sunflowers
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
Directions:
Step 1
Separate the leaves by their color (red, yellow, orange, and green), then hot glue the red leaves on the feet, tip of the wings, and tip of the ears of the owl. Start filling the owl’s body with the orange leaves from the bottom and up, and make sure they are overlapping the rows below them.

Step 2
Once in the middle of the owl’s body, change the color of the leaves into the yellow ones, and stop once you’ve covered the whole body. Outline the head of the owl with green leaves, then fill the inside of the outline with yellow leaves.
Step 3
Trim a red leaf into the shape of a beak as shown in the video, then glue it in between the eyes. Trim the stem of the sunflowers, then hot glue them to the eyes of the owl, and you’re done.
