Directions:
- First squirt some brown paint in the center of your choice of colored cardstock {I did yellow.} You don’t need a lot. Maybe the size of a quarter.
- Now take your fork – which is your “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the owl’s body come to life on the paper. Add more paint if you like. It doesn’t have to be perfect at all so feel free to change it up.
- If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for extra sparkle.
- Once you are done creating the “feathers” on the paper, set it aside for now.
- Next grab your orange cardstock paper and the scissors.
- Cut out two pointy ears, two heart shaped feet and one triangle beak for the owl from the orange paper.
- Go ahead and also glue one large wiggle eye in each of the cupcake liners, to create the owl eyes.
- Finally – the last step of this fork painted owl craft is to glue your cardstock pieces, cupcake liners and wiggle eyes to the painted piece of paper. I highly suggest starting with the two liners in the center and then working from there.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
- BTW – you can change the brown paint to white paint for a SNOWY OWL instead!
