Directions for Owl Cut and Paste Craft
The adorable paper owl craft can be made in 6 easy steps.
Step 1 – Coloring
The first step is to color.
The owl, its wing, part of a tree, a background, and 11 oak leaves need to be colored
You can choose whether you want to color with crayons, pencil crayons, or markers.
Step 2 – Cutting
After everything is colored, use scissors to cut out the owl, its wing, and the leaves.
Step 3 – Wing
Glue the wing to the owl’s body using a glue stick.
There is a spot on the owl’s body that shows where to add glue. After applying glue, place the wing on the owl’s body and press down firmly to stick.
Step 4 – Optional
This next step is not completely necessary but a good idea.
Figure out where on the branch you wish to place the owl. Then look to see what part of the branch and page the owl’s body covers.
It’s helpful to have this in mind when you’re doing the next step.
Step 5 – Oak Leaves
Decorate the oak tree, including its branch, with the 11 oak leaves you have colored and cut out.
Then glue them into place.
Step 6 – Owl
The last step is to glue the owl to the picture. You want the owl’s feet to be on the branch.
And there you have it! An adorable fall owl craft.
Unique Handmade Card Idea
Here’s an idea to repurpose your child’s finished owl craft. The paper craft can be used to easily make a unique one-of-a-kind handmade card that your child can give to a person they choose.
Simply glue the back of the paper craft and paste it onto a folded cardstock, in a color of their choice.
They can choose to have the folded card be more of a square shape or have a taller card where they can write text of their choice at the top.
Then they can write inside their card and give it to the person of their choice.
As an option, they can cut a folded white paper to size (a little smaller than the card itself). Afterward, they can write a message on the inside of the paper and then paste it inside the card.
It will be an adorable, unique, handmade card that the recipient is sure to love!
