Fall is in full swing and owl crafts are always a fun way to celebrate the change in season and welcome of autumn! We’re sharing this super cute paper plate owl craft today to make with the kids!
All you need are some simple art supplies you probably already have at home like paints, paper and of course paper plates.
How do you make paper plate owls?
You’ll simply paint a paper plate front and back any color you’d like. Who says owls have to be brown! We made ours colorful like pink here! Let the kids decide what color their owls are.
Then you’ll add some fun details like eyes and feathers.
We gave our owls a decorative nature touch by adding them to paper branches! You could also gather a large branch from outdoors and stick them on for a cute fall decor!
