Common Scraps to a Cute Owl
Using materials you usually throw out, you can create a cute owl with the design of your choice. If you're looking for something fun to do during quarantine time, this might be a fun project for you! From junk, to something that you can enjoy! Let's get started!
Supplies
- Scissors or knife
- Glue
- Soda cans
- Wood
- Bottle caps
- Canning lids
- Buttons
- Small nails
- Screws
- Small picture hanger
Placing the Eyes
First, take your canning lids and place them on your plank of wood.
Screwing the Eyes On
Next, screw the canning lids onto the wood. If you are too young to use a power drill, you should get help from an adult.
Gluing the Eyeballs On
Now glue the bottle caps onto the screws so that they are centered inside the canning lid.
Gluing the Buttons Onto the Bottle Caps
Take 2 matching buttons and glue both onto the separate bottle caps. Make sure both "pupils" are symmetrically placed inside the bottle caps.
Cutting and Shaping the Ear
Next, draw an ear shape similar to the picture above. Draw a second one, but this time point the top the other direction. Cut both out and fold both tips over like the picture shows above.
Gluing the Ears On
Take both folded ears and glue them to the top corners of the wood plank.
Cutting the Beak
Color a traffic cone shape onto your soda can. Cut it out and fold the rectangular part underneath the triangle part of the soda can.
Gluing the Beak Onto the Wood
Now, take the beak and glue it onto the wood plank so that it is centered underneath the eyes.
Drawing the Design of the Wings
Draw a simple wing design onto your soda can. Cut it out.
Gluing the Left Wing
Next, glue the wing onto the left side of the wood so that the inside part of the metallic can is showing.
Drawing the Right Wings Design
Draw a second wing design onto your soda can.(It should look similar to the left wing that is glued onto the wood) Cut it out.
Gluing the Second Wing
Now glue the second wing onto the other side of the owl so that the inside of the soda can is showing. It should now look like the picture above.
Adding the Picture Hanger
Take a small picture hanger and nail it to the back of the owl.
Finishing the Owl
Since you have finished creating and adding the hook to your owl, hang it outside somewhere and let others enjoy your creation! You could also give it to someone as a gift or for Mother's day!
Hope you enjoyed the project!
