Decorate the printables however you like with the crayons, markers, colored pencils etc. Let your creativity shine on this step!

Once done, use scissors to trim out each piece in the two printables. Discard the excess paper and set aside pieces.

Next up, grab the colored cardstock, a writing utensil and your scissors. Trace both of your hands on the paper.

Trim out the traced handprints with the scissors. Discard excess paper.

Now grab your ribbon. With help, measure your arm span with the ribbon. Cut it to length and then cut it in half so you have TWO pieces.

Go ahead and now staple BOTH ribbon pieces on the small dots on the owl printable.

Then take the paper handprints and staple them in place, on the ends of each ribbon piece.

Now take the two heart cutouts and glue them to the palms of the paper handprints. Make sure the sayings are in the right order though. You should be able to read the saying, left to right "May This Hug Make You Feel Owl-Tastic!"

And that's it! Add other embellishments you see fit to your Paper Hugging Owl Friend before displaying and/or gifting proudly!
