Owl Christmas Tree - Dupe

This year mom left me in charge of putting together a new Christmas Tree for the house. I had been wanting to do a "scary owl" tree for some time now, however, the owls I ended up getting were actually kind of cute. I also wanted to stick to something more traditional and have it match my mom's style of decor. I came across an adorable Owl Christmas Tree online and decided to try and recreate as best as I could... although it was tough finding anything exactly like it. In the end, I think our tree came out looking pretty good.

Lowes - Christmas Tree ($39 before tax).

Hobby Lobby - 1 bouquet of dried branch balls, 1 bouquet of pod balls, 1 bouquet of pheasant feathers,  30ft of wire ribbon, and 1 container of copper ornament balls (shiny and frosted mix). Everything that came on a stick got pulled/cut off from the balls, and I pulled the pheasant feathers apart from the grass that this was in (this gave us 3 groups of feathers to stick into the tree). Everything bought here was 50% off.

Walmart - 5 Owls, and 3 Gold-Glitter Pinecone Clusters (less than $13 after-tax).

Things we already had at home - Ornament Hooks, and Metallic Gold Paint with a Paint Brush (which we used on the black base that came with the Christmas Tree to accent it, and to highlight the branch balls).
