What a HOOT!......DIY owl decor tutorial

Diposting oleh fawaid on Kamis, 11 November 2010

Just a quick shout out to any new blog readers who are stoping by from my appearance on Studio 5. Hello!!! :) 

Continuing on with my "What can you do with burner covers?", I am totally twitterpated with this owl! and if you saw the TV segment this morning you saw this little cutie and know I have a pattern to share!


Let's get started:
OWL magnet/chalkboard decor

Materials:
10 inch burner cover
chalkboard paint
My owl pattern template (download it here)
scrapbook paper
scissors
pencil
glue (hot glue, craft glue, pick your favorite)
rhinestones or buttons

(**REMEMBER - if you craft one up please share your photo in the Brassy Apple Flickr GROUP!**)

Step 1: Spray the burner cover with chalkboard paint. Let dry. 

Step 2: Print out the owl template and trace the pieces onto the scrapbook paper. Cut out 1 head, 1 beak, 2 eyes and 2 wings. **When cutting the wings, flip the template over to trace the 2nd wing**

Step 3: Eyes - Fold the circle into quarters. Cut a small wedge off each side edge and 2 wedges across the rounded top. Unfold. Add a 2nd smaller circle to the middle if desired. Add buttons or rhinestones to the center for an added pop! 


Step 4: Use your dry cover as a guide and position it over the owl head. Lightly trace outline for re-positioning later. Make a few slits in the paper from the bottom edge to the traced line. 


Step 5: Put glue underneath the upper lip where the owl head will go. Line up the cover and the head with the traced line and press the paper into the glue folding and creasing the paper as needed. 


Step 6: Glue on the eyes. Glue the wings on the sides positioning them to hang off as desired. Glue the beak onto the top of cover in between the eyes. (this creates a fun 3D look)


Hang on the wall for all to see! Create chalk pictures, add messages for whatever you like. And remember because it's metal it doubles as a magnet board too!
