Directions:
- First things first, grab the free “pumpkin” file {listed above in the supply list} and print it out on your choice of colored cardstock paper.
- If printing the pumpkin design on plain white cardstock paper, you will want to go ahead and color it in with coloring utensils. If you are printing it on orange cardstock paper, you can skip this step.
- Anyways – trim out the pumpkin piece and discard excess paper.
- Now grab your yellow colored cardstock paper and trace both of your child’s hands {one at a time, in separate locations} on the paper.
- When done tracing, trim them both out. This will be the “wings” for the owl.
- Finally – cut out the remaining owl features from the leftover yellow and kraft colored cardstock paper {like triangle ears and a beak!}
- Now it’s time to start assembling! Grab your choice of adhesive and all the paper cutouts.
- To finish off your paper owl pumpkin keepsake, start off by gluing the two handprint cutouts {his wings} on each side of the pumpkin cutout. Follow that up gluing on his facial features, along with the wiggle eyes.
- Now you can stop here or add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it your little owl friend his own personal spin!
- Then display your handprint fall owl paper piece proudly for ALL to see!!
