This may not be your traditional Farmhouse Cow Head Decor, given that it has leopard print spots and all, but it sure is cute! Plus, it’s made with recycled cardboard so it can be made on a budget too! DIY Home decor at it’s finest.
This adorable Farmhouse Cow Head is one of my very crafts that we made in my VIP Subscription Craft Group, The CRafterparty.
Of course this isn’t your traditional Farmhouse Cow Head, but if you know me at all then you know what I am not your traditional crafty girl. AT ALL.
If I can find a way to work in the Lisa Frank Rainbow, Sunflowers, or Leopard Print into my crafts, then I absolutely will!
That is exactly what I did here with this Farmhouse Cow Head Decor!
I’m not much of a farmhouse crafter or decorator, so when I do swing that way I give it a more fun and whimsy vibe, as you can see.

Never underestimate the power of Google when looking for Templates for things. For this project, since I didn’t have a wood cutout of a Cow Head I took to Google to search ‘Free Cow Head Template” and found this one to use with cardboard.
The trick to elevate the look of the cardboard, is to cover it with canvas material. It really takes it up a notch and you would never know your Cow Head isn’t real wood!
I used leopard print felt for the spots, because I happened to have it. But you could totally use scrapbook paper, or even fabric.
Of course we had to have a cute bow with some boxwood greenery and a sunflower.
It was a tough choice with what to write on the Cows ear tag, but I went with “Got Milk” instead of “Moooooo”. Besides my awful handwriting, I think “Got Milk” is cute!
I’ve got a ton of these square wood beads from the Dollar Tree garlands, so I decided to mix it up for the hanger rather then the traditional round wood beads.
Have you ever seen a Farmhouse Cow Head with LEOPARD PRINT spots?! Now you can say that you have!
Of course, if the leopard print isn’t your thing then you could do the spots any color you want! Some of the ladies in The CRafterparty did traditional black, florals, and even buffalo check. Have fun with it and get creative.
As always…be inspired to make it your own and if you need a little help, come join us in The CRafterparty! Doesn’t it look so cute with all our other summer decor?!
