Now that all of that is out of the way, lets get to it! Today's tutorial is a mini Owl Christmas Ornament. It can also be used as a keychain, luggage tag, wall decor, the list goes on!
I think it is important to note that my knots are quite tight, and some of these cords got pretty short, so it may be a good idea to cut a few extra inches for each cord if your knots are looser or if your cord is even slightly thicker. Also, the metal ring I used is not necessary, you can use some thin cord, jute twine, yarn, a wooden ring, etc, as a substitute if you prefer.
MEASURES:
