Assembled Halloween owl decorationSee how easy it is to make this adorable owl display. Use it in your yard on a stake or hang on your porch.This project takes no time at all and you can easily make this Halloween owl project from scraps. It is a fun and easy project to make with kids. I began by cutting two circles from 3/8 inch plywood but you could just as easily use 1/4 to 3/4 inch if you prefer. Depending on where it will be placed when finished, you could make it from masonite as well. I made one 20 inch diameter circle (for the sky) and a 10 inch diameter circle(for the moon), although you can change the dimensions to suit your own preferences. 
To make the circles, insert a nail in the plywood ensuring you have sufficient space for the diameters and attach a pencil with a 10 inch string for the 20 inch diameter circle and a 5 inch string for the 10 inch dimeter circle. Extend the string and keep it tight as you draw the circles on the plywood. Use a jig saw or hand saw to cut out the circles; they don't have to be perfect. Sand edges as needed. Download the owl template and trace it on plywood. Cut it out using a jig saw, band saw, or hand saw. 
Paint the pieces the appropriate colors. Ours is gray for the large circle (sky), yellow for the moon, and black for the owl. We used spray paint we had on hand. 
Grey sky, yellow moon, and black owl painted and ready for final touches
Clouds give it an eerie feelWe opted to give our decoration more depth using spacers that we painted black and placed under the moon and owl, but it is not necessary.
Spacers to give depth to decorationAssemble the pieces as shown. Attach the pieces to each other using small nails or screws. We attached ours using a nail gun.Mary added clouds to make a bit more spooky! And we painted a branch with black paint to embellish the decoration but you could also cut them out of plywood if you prefer.
