| These adorable little owls are not only cute, they are quite easy to make. My four-year old son was quite instrumental in making this little guy with his wings spread..."So he can fly fast Mommy!" I owe all the creativity to him! |

| Step 1 Pull apart a couple of cotton balls, and using your toothpick stuff the cotton between the empty spaces in the pine cone. (ignore the feathers...we were playing around) |
| Step 2 Take two full cottonballs and stuff or glue them where you want your owls head. (see how your pinecone sits and choose the best spot.) |
| Step 3 You want your two cottonballs to look like the owls facial disks...round or heartshaped depending on the type. |
| Step 8 Do the same for the other wing. (Like our feathers? We got them at Michaels' Craft Store) |
| Step 7 Choose a feather for the wings. Wrap the wing around the back of the body and down the side. Glue if necessary. |
| Step 9 If you're making a little Horned Owl, choose some smaller feather for the facial disks. |
| Step 10 Owls need nests don't they? Get an old clay pot and stuff it with some moss or whatever extra you can find. |
| Step 11 Let the moss overflow over the top of the clay pot....it just looks more like a nest this way doesn't it! |















| Step 4 Choose some eyes for your owl. We used wiggle eyes...it's kooky to use a big and a small one. |
| Step 5 Cut a small triangle from orange foam and glue on your owls beak.. |
| All Done! Show your little owl his new home and let him nestle in. |
