We love Owls around here…

More than Owls though… we like painting and printing with our hands!!

Handprint Crafts are really special – and this Handprint Owl is no exception!

Looking for a Valentine’s Day Craft? Mother’s Day? Father”s Day?

We made their bodies with hearts – they also make great gifts to say I Love You!!

Perfect for anytime!

Materials:

White Large format (A3) paper or card – for the background
Cardboard / Very Thick Paper – One Color for the Heart Shaped Bodies and another color for the triangle shaped beak.
Eyes – we used 3 different sized buttons to make eyes, but you could also use paper or big googly eyes
Marker – to finish off the legs and feet
Paint – for the handprint wings
Washi Tape to make the branch. Of course you could also paint or draw it on…

First create a branch – towards the bottom of the paper. You can draw or paint this on if you like, we used washi tape and tore little strips.
Then make the body by cutting two heart shapes.
The heart that gets used for the head is slightly smaller than the body.
Stick these onto the paper – making sure the body – lower heart – is upside down.
The body should get stuck first and then the head.
Position the body just above the branch – so there is a little space to add the legs – you can draw these on with anything you like, we used a marker.
Then add your eyes and nose.

We used buttons to make eyes, you could also use jar and bottle tops or googly eyes – or you could simply draw them on.
Then… here comes the really fun part…
Add some wings by painting and printing your hands. You have to use both your hands – so they are symmetrical.
