Read Owl About How To Do It:

Owls seem to be everywhere!

My seven year old grand-daughter, "Babycakes" just loves them. Oh, not real birds, but the symbol of the owl. Why? Mostly because her school's mascot is this wise bird. Who knows, maybe the fascination and admiration will last to her college days and she could pledge MY sorority and not her mom's. Hope so--I have been saving my pin for several decades now.

So how did some of our beliefs about the owl begin? Well, Native Americans associated the meaning of owl with wisdom, foresight, and keeper of sacred knowledge.

All one has to do is Google "owl symbolism" and you can discover tons more about this nocturnal bird.

To find out about the pillow shown to the upper right, click Owl Pillow from Dwell. Most likely, I will be purchasing this pillow for "Babycakes" in the very near future.

If you are decorating a child's room, these designs by DwellStudios are classic! An owl theme would be terrific for a baby shower, too.

Who says storage can't be stylish? These storage bins are bright, colorful, and covered in playful patterns, making them as much a part of the room decor as they are a practical storage solution.

One reason I have liked owls for decades is because I was in the sorority Chi Omega. One of the symbols of this organization was the owl. Cannot tell you why--one of those "secret" things, you know. I really enjoyed being in this collegiate sorority and have been donating to its foundation for many years.

Another reason I like the owl--it is easy to draw one. Make a "u"; connect the top points of the "u" with a "smile". Put in some eyes and a little "v" for a nose. Easy peasy.

I have a "WikiHow" article below with more instructions on how to draw a cartoon owl. Keep scrolling down.
