Owls In The Night – Tree Branch & Paper Kids Craft Tutorial

Inspired by nature and my current love of owls – today I present to YOU our Simple Mixed Media Night Owl kid craft idea!

Using tree branch sticks we found in our very own backyard {hello FREE!} I was recently inspired to make a “night owl” scene with just some tissue paper, school glue and wiggle eyes. Nothing elaborate so it’s easy-peasy for younger kids and super inexpensive too!

I hope we inspire YOU and your child to recreate our quick and easy crafty idea! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial located below!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished owls in the night creations with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
