Kolorova D-06 Magic Owls is a thread embroidery kit on laser-cut wooden bases that produces a vertical hanging owl garland with three owls, decorative beads, and wooden charms. You pull DMC stranded cotton and metallic thread through pre-drilled holes around the circular opening in each owl to create geometric patterns — radial sunburst and crosshatch fills in deep purple and gold (the technique is similar to string art but uses pre-drilled holes instead of nails). The three finished owls are then linked together with cord and Preciosa glass beads, with a wooden star between and a crescent moon charm at the bottom. This is a beginner-friendly thread embroidery project: the technique is simple threading and wrapping, and the detailed PDF instructions walk you through every step with photos.
Finished size: 4.72″ × 27.56″ (12 × 70 cm), full garland

Project Notes
Each owl is worked separately — wrap the thread through the holes around the circular cutout following the pattern, then glue the felt backing to the reverse for a clean finish. Once all three are done, string them together with cord, beads, and the wooden charms to form the garland. The step-by-step PDF guide is very detailed with photos for every stage, so no prior experience with thread embroidery on wood is needed. The deep purple and gold palette gives these owls a rich, mystical look that works as year-round wall décor, not just seasonal. Hang the finished garland on a wall, door, or window — the 27-inch length makes a striking vertical accent. A memorable handmade gift for owl lovers, crafters, or anyone drawn to folk-inspired home décor.
