Hoot!

I love owls.  Oh yes indeed.

I saw this owl decorating idea and knew I wanted any excuse to make it.  Thankfully, today is Halloween, so I whipped up my version within 10 minutes.


I bought some very large sheets of black construction paper a few weeks ago.  Folded one in half, lengthwise.  On one half, drew the "left side" of an owl.  Next comes the exacto knife;  cutting along the lines through both thicknesses.  Open it up and "voila!" an owl!  As for the branch, it's just made of of the leftover bits of paper.

He's taped up in the front window and looks great, if I do say so myself! 

(When Halloween is over, he's going up on the wall in the playroom.)
