DIY Fall Owl Magnets

Happy Sunday and welcome to my latest little craft project.  I was at the craft store looking for something in particular when I spied the cutest little felt owl figures hanging from the shelf. They stopped me in my tracks and I thought, “What could I do with these?”  I decided they’d look cute on mini canvases and the thought occurred to me to turn them into easy, DIY Fall Owl Magnets.  For this project I’m joining the “Home for Fall” event hosted by Hometalk.

DIY Fall Owl MagnetsAs I was wandering through the craft store shopping for other items, I saw these adorable rectangular tins and instantly knew how charming they’d look with the little owl magnets on them.

How to Make Fall Owl Magnets with Mini CanvasesTo make these fun DIY Fall Owl Magnets you only need a few supplies: Mini canvases, felt stickers, watercolor paints, and magnetic tape; all from your local craft store.
