What you will need

Pine Cone Owl

Create Card Board Body

First create the cardboard body for your pine cone owl. To do this we traced a peanut butter lid for the wide part and a tin can for the smaller upper part. Then we just cut out our shape.  We used a shot glass for our cardboard eyes cut out.

Create Willow Stick Tail Feathers

 Then cut the willow sticks for the bottom to the desired length, we cut ours about 5 inches. Now apply a generous layer of glue to attach the willow sticks to the cardboard as seen below.
