Inspired by my love of owls, today I’m sharing this DIY “hoot-tastic” handmade Cotton Pad Owl card idea! It’s completely customizable {no two owls should be alike!} and kids will LOVE making & sharing them too!

Perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday or ANY day of the year – honestly!

So gather your craft supplies, follow the full tutorial I’ve included below and have a “HOOT” making some one-of-a-kind pieces today! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Cotton Pads {found in the nail care aisle}
* Felt Glue {Darice has a great brand!}
* Wiggle Eyes
* Scissors
* Cardstock
embellishments like buttons, glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* Fold a cardstock piece in half to make a card. Repeat for each card you want to make.
* Grab ONE cotton pad. Glue it in the center of your card front. Set aside the card.
* Next grab your cardstock. Cut out “owl” features like triangular nose, wings, feet etc. Glue those to your cotton pad card. Go ahead and also glue on the wiggle eyes for your owl to see!
* Finish off your Cotton Pad Owl Cards by adding other embellishments {like some glitter or bows} before writing a sweet message inside and mailing away!!!

You can also take this idea and make ladybugs too!!! Perfect for spring OR Valentine’s Day!!!
