DIY Amazing Paper Owl

Amazing paper owl in 13 steps

Total Time: 25 minutes

1. Prepare a sheet of paper
   

   Make an orange base for your owl. The size of the craft can be different. In our example, we use half of an A4 sheet. Fold the sheet in half in the longitudinal direction. Draw the outline of the half for the future owl.

2. Use scissors
   

   Cut the craft with scissors along the contour.

3. Make an owl body
   

   You should get the same owl as in the photo.

4. Make the cuts
   

   Now fold the owl’s body in half in the other direction. Use scissors to make several parallel incisions at a distance of about 1.5 cm.

5. Straighten the workpiece again
   

   You should have an owl with slits on its belly.

6. Prepare colored strips
   

   Cut them out on the long side of the sheet about 1.5 cm wide. You need to make 4 strips of different colors.

7. Weave a strip
   

   Push the first light green strip through the slits on the owl’s belly.

8. Do this with another strip
   

   Use the second purple stripe. Push it through the slits to get the weave.

9. Finish the weave
   

   Add the remaining strips in the same way. Make sure that the strips create a weave on the slits.

10. Trim the ends
    

    Trim the edges of the strips on both sides at an angle to make owl wings.

11. Use a marker
    

    Draw large eyes on white paper, cut them out and glue them on.

12. Make a nose
    

    Take the red paper, fold it in half and cut out a triangle. This blank will be the beak of an owl.

13. Create tassels on the ears
    

    Create owl ears. Cut a couple of thin strips of orange paper, fold them and glue them. The paper owl is ready.
