I created an owl Christmas ornament pattern and had such a great time making them with my little neighbor girls, I thought I would pass the joy on to you. They are easy to make and the kids went nuts decorating them - lots of bling going on as you can see!
The pattern below can be printed on paper and transferred to cardboard for tracing. Have fun!
Here's some helpful hints:
To print the pattern, click once on the pattern, then right-click and "save as" owl pattern to your computer's desktop. Then open and print.
Use cardboard patterns to trace around on foam and felt.
For younger children, cut the pieces out ahead of time, giving them a "kit".
Cut 1 body out of foam for backing.
Cut 1 body out of felt and use a glue stick to cover the foam body, then adhere the felt body to the top of it. Trim foam edges to match if necessary.
The brand Aleene's Tacky Glue works best to adhere the felt pieces to each other. I bought a 3-pk. for $1.29 at Michaels.
Wings and feet can be tucked between the body pieces or glued on top.
I used stiffened felt (you can purchase this kind) for the beaks and feet.
Embellishments: use bottle caps, wiggly eyes, gems, glitter - get crazy!
Punch a hole in the top center of the head and add an ornament hanger.
