PAIR YOUR OWL CRAFT WITH —> Watercolor Seashell Frame

Craft Supplies:

Free Seashell Printable {grab it on box.com}
White Cardstock Paper {2 sheets per owl craft}
Color Printer
Crayons, Pencils, Markers etc.
Paper Craft Scissors
Colored Cardstock Paper {for the eyes}
Orange Cardstock Paper
Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
Large Wiggle Eyes – two per unicorn craft
Paper Punches {I used a basic circle and scallop punch}

Directions:

First things first – grab our free seashell printable, listed above in the supply list.
Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. One print equals one owl craft. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use only please.
Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in the seashell design, however you like {I used a light shade of tan for mine.}
When done coloring in the seashell piece, use your craft scissors to trim it out from the paper.
Discard excess paper.
Now grab your remaining cardstock paper and scissors.
Cut/punch out large scallop eyes, a triangle nose and heart shaped feet.
To finish off your Paper Seashell Owl, glue their cardstock pieces in place, on the seashell design.
Use a marker to draw in pupils if need be on the eye cutouts.
To finish it off, add the custom elements like lines of glitter glue and sequins.
Then allow your piece to dry completely before you display your custom one-of-a-kind seashell owl piece proudly for all to see!
