As the days get shorter, rustic decoration brings a cozy atmosphere into the home. What could be better than a beautiful wooden disc? Particularly charming are those decorated with small owls made of Fimo - perfectly suited to the season and with unique character. Be inspired by our detailed DIY guide and create your own personal autumn decoration!





Let's Get Started: Creating the Basic Shapes from Fimo

To make the work easier, draw the outline of your wooden disc on a piece of baking paper. This way, you know the maximum size of your decoration, and you can place the owls directly into the oven with the baking paper, preventing them from getting damaged when being lifted. According to the outline, shape a thick branch from brown Fimo. Add structure using toothpicks or your nails to enhance the natural look.

Depending on your color preference, take some Fimo and form a ball. Above the halfway point, shape a rough neck. Then, form two "ears" from the top part. Press the owl a bit flatter in general and place it along the branch. Repeat this step by trying out different sizes and shapes.

Adding Details

For the eyes, form balls from white Fimo and press them flat. Place them on the owl's head and shape them. For the wings, divide a larger Fimo ball with a knife into two equal parts. Form these into two balls and then into wings. Attach them to the sides of the owl's body and add feather structures.

Before placing the owls in the oven at 100°C with top/bottom heat for about 25 minutes, you can add more details. Create beaks and feet from golden Fimo and decorate the branch with small twigs and leaves if you like.

Final Touch: Finishing the Wooden Disc

Once the owls have cooled, apply craft glue on the back and attach the owls to the wooden disc. Use the Posca Marker to paint on the final details. Optionally, you can drill a hole in the upper part to hang the wooden disc with hemp twine or a similar ribbon.
