Good morning!
Here is tree #4 The owl tree..This tree sits on the stairs and there isn't a plug nearby so its the only tree that's not lit up..There are pine cones, silver glitter branches, snowflake burlap ribbon.. white berry strands ..There is a diy pinecone topper

This is the owl trees 3rd Christmas ..I added a few new ornaments this year and also the white fur garland.. I made the crocheted owls and you can find the pattern here.. The bottom is wrapped with a piece of burlap..

and tree #5 is the Merry and Bright tree also in the foyer.. Last year was the first year for this tree.. it sits in a flea market basket

last year I decorated it in red and green ..this year red and white..with strips of red ticking for the garland..

The letters are from my scrapbooking "stash" and I glittered them and added them to some jute..The white reindeer ornaments are form Walmart .. Both of these trees are 4 feet..

Two Trees In The Foyer

Good Morning ! I am back from the cruise and sharing the 2 trees in the foyer!

On the stairs is a tree with owl ornaments..pinecones , snowflakes and burlap.. The pattern for the crocheted owl ornaments is here..

I made the tree topper from pinecones , a dollar tree snowflake ornament and a paper towel roll.I just glued the pinecones to a small piece of cardboard..then added another layer of pinecones on top , and the snowflake on top of the second layer. I used hot glue for the glueing. I glued about a 6 inch piece of the paper towel roll to the back and used that to stick the top branch of the tree in. I then sprayed it with some glitter spray so it sparkles. There is no plug where this tree is so there are no lights on it.

There are so many owl ornaments available now !

I have never had a tree right in this spot where the merry and bright tree is . I got the basket at a church rummage sale for 50 cents this summer .. I made the merry and bright banner with my cricut ..cut each letter out twice and glued them together. Then used mod podge and dipped them in glitter. I glued them to a piece of twine for hanging.

The lime green and red ornaments I bought at Walmart last year for 10 cents each after Christmas. I also added some Dollar Tree Ball ornaments.

There is a berry garland and red and green berry and floral picks at the top.

I made a bow for the top from red sequin wired ribbon.

Owl Ornaments And The Owl Tree

Owls are such a big thing now , I had to trim a tree with them ! This tree sits on the stairs going upstairs.. Usually it is trimmed with felt Santa's and snowmen. Its a 4 ft. tree , and there are no lights on this one since there's no outlet .

I started with some snowflake burlap I got at Michaels. I wove that through the tree , made a bow for the tree topper and added pinecones and lots of snowflake ornaments. At an estate sale a month or so ago I got all those white berry picks , and used those too..

I hopefully will be able to find some more cute owls to add to the tree in the weeks before and after Christmas !

I made all the crocheted owls from this pattern ... I changed the pattern since I thought they were too big for my tree and also I wanted them in different sizes.

I used button for a couple of their eyes and also just crocheted their eyes.

For my owls, use Size G hook and worsted weight yarn... I chained 3 slip stitch for a circle.. Round 1 ..12 sc in circle. Round 2 ..sc in first stitch 2 sc in next repeat around (18) stitches. Round 3 .. sc in next 2 , 2 sc in next around. ( 24 stitches. Keep crocheting your rows until you get the desired size owl.. to close and make the ears ..hold the front and back together , do a half dc in first stitch ,sc in next 6 stitches slip stitch 2 rows down ..stuff your owl kind of loosely.. then sc to the last stitch where you do a half dc. Pull up on the ends a little so the points for their ears show. For the eyes ..chain 3 slip stitch to form ring. chain 3 , 11 dc in ring .slip stitch to top of chain 3 . Slip stitch in first 6 stitches then sc in last 6 .When you sew the eyes on the owl the sc part should be on top like an eyelid. Either sew or glue buttons in , or chain 2 ( I used brown ) then 5 sc in first chain slip stitch and leave a tail for sewing. For the nose I used pale yellow, chain 3 ..sc in last 2 chains , turn 1 sc in last stitch , turn slip stitch in last stitch. leave a tail for sewing.
