I just love a good paper plate craft. Don’t you?!

We have shared quite a bit of these types of craft tutorials on Glued To My Crafts and it has been a big hit so far. In fact – a good portion of our 2,000+ tutorials use paper plates 🙂 You can’t beat the inexpensive price tag and they are typically so simple to recreate as well. You can literally cut and cover a paper plate in paint and/or tissue paper, to make nearly anything {even monster sized trucks and colorful trolls!}

So without further ado – if you are looking for a clever way to entertain your child today and you want something simple to make & display in your home, you are going to LOVE today’s Paper Plate Owl tutorial!

Not only is this owl themed kid craft a great way to pass the time – but it’s also really easy and great for the younger children in your home to recreate! You could easily change up the colors to also reflect a theme, holiday or event {like red and pink for an adorable Valentine’s Day theme!}

So stop “hooting” around – let’s grab those craft supplies, find the full tutorial below and get to work making this “owl-tastic” tissue paper covered owl craft today! I just know you are going to have an great time designing the perfect owl friend with your child today!
