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…

How to make a Handprint Owl?

• 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.

How cute are these guys! We made 2!!
