Cheese Grater Owl

"Upcycle an old stainless steel cheese grater into a fun and quirky outdoor owl garden decoration. Although this lil’ owl is utterly adorable, his edges are quite sharp (he’s made from a cheese grater after all!). Not only did we make a super cute decoration for the outdoor garden but we used materials we had around the house. An old stainless cheese grater, some mason jar lids, bottle caps, a tree branch, and copper wire were all that were needed to create this little guy. If you have leftover bottle caps from this project, see this Bottle Cap Horse and Bottle Cap Flower for your garden as well. It feels good to upcycle! "
