Why Choose Owl Wall Art For Your Nursery?
Don’t we all secretly hope our kids will have wisdom as they inherit their genes from us? The owl associated with learning and intelligence makes them a symbol of aspiration and knowledge, a popular motif in kids’ home decor. Owls also have a whimsical and mystical quality that adds a touch of magic to any room. This embroidery kit is unique as it draws similarities to vintage owl wall art, like seventies macrame wall hangings, and presents them in a contemporary way!
Making Owl Wall Art
Making this piece is a creative and fun activity that involves using wool to connect dots on printed paper. It’s similar to a dot-to-dot puzzle, but instead of using a pencil, you use yarn to create a beautiful finish. This activity is perfect for beginners, as it provides clear instructions and is suitable for those with no prior embroidery experience.
You can complete this large owl embroidery more quickly than traditional embroidery because it uses chunky wool instead of silk threads and tiny stitches, making it a project you can finish!
A3 in size, the artwork features digitally printed images of pressed Astrantia flower branches, giving it a realistic and vibrant appearance. The paper has a soft and durable texture, making it perfect for embroidery. Using a single colour in the stitching allows for a smooth and rhythmic process without frequent interruptions. Overall, this owl wall art is visually stunning and provides a relaxing and enjoyable experience for those who choose to embroider it.
Simple Stitches For Embroidering Paper
This owl sewing kit uses a range of embroidery stitches. A rose stitch is sometimes known as ‘woven wheel stitch,’ or ‘wagon wheel stitch.’ A simple backstitch worked in rectangular patterns, a fan pattern and an extremely fun turkey stitch to make the fringed eyes.

Where To Find And Purchase Owl Wall Art
My owl kits are available in my Contempfleury shop in a pink owl and green owl versions. You can also request a commission for a finished framed owl.
If you prefer traditional embroidery, check out the owl kit by Tales From The Hoop. This kit is also designed for beginners as well as those more experienced and demonstrates a range of stitches.
I also admire the sensitivity of colour in Debbie Harding’s blackwork embroidered owl art. This wall art would look beautiful in a floral nursery scheme too!
Framing Owl Wall Art
I love the hand-painted picture frames adding a splash of colour to kids’ rooms right now! Pastel shades look particularly sophisticated in nurseries teamed with floral wallpapers. Learn how to make your own in the post, How To Make Professional Bobbin Frames or see I used them as a focal colour theme in a room, Creating A Unique Red Aesthetic With Frames.
