Not only does this activity require minimal supplies, but it also requires a limited amount of skill – making it ideal for those who are just learning how to craft or may not feel comfortable with more complicated projects.
Craft Supplies:
- Color Printer
- Envelope Printable – on our landing page
- Cardstock Paper {three different colors}
- 2 Inch Scallop Paper Punch
- Craft Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Large Wiggle Eyes
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
Directions:
- First things first – download and print out the envelope template. You can print this on ANY color you like! You need one print per owl card.
- Next up – trim out the envelope shape and discard excess paper.
- Go ahead and lay your envelope design on your working station, with the printed black marks facing you.
- Now grab your remaining pieces of cardstock paper, along with your scissors and the scallop paper punch.
- Go ahead and cut/punch out the two eyes & of course, the triangle nose for your owl.
- Glue those to your envelope shape, in the designated spots.
- Now hold off on gluing the googly eyes in place. Flip over your piece so the blank side is now facing you.
- Use whatever writing utensil you like, to write a message on the back of the envelope design. I included some “punny” examples below.
- When done writing, flip it over again and FINALLY glue the wiggle eyes in place.
- And that’s it! At this point in time you can add any other embellishments in place, before you gift it away proudly!
Example Sayings:
