Owl Tree Topper

This was the quickest and easiest DIY decoration ever.

I used an empty candle holder that I had purchased over the summer and filled it with fresh holiday greens to create a nest.

The beautiful thing about this candle holder was that the bottom had openings so all I had to do was slide it over the top of the tree.

I originally was thinking about cutting a hole in the middle of a basket and sliding it over the top of the tree stem but as I was shopping my house for that perfect basket, this candle holder jumped out at me.

It was perfect!

I used fresh boxwood, juniper and clippings from our Douglas fir tree.

Simply stuff them in the sides until you achieve a full nest look.

Once I was done filling the candle holder with fresh greens, I placed on top of the tree and attached the holder to the tree with crafting wire.

The owl surrounded by pinecones looks so fun!

If you are short on cash and looking for a way to spruce up your Christmas tree, try this owl topper!
