Welcome back from the weekend. While you may not be ready for the workweek to begin look at this way, Valentine’s Day is one day closer. For the last week or so we have been showing some cute and easy Valentine’s Day crafts. Several of the crafts we’ve shown are cardholders. A cardholder is a must have item for kids to have, because while they are in school they receive so many of them. One of the best surfaces to use to create these holders is cereal box. Use a cereal box to create this super cute Valentine owl. Laura Bray created this adorable project using Mod Podge and several other supplies. This is a very simple project to create, and won’t take long at all to complete. See below for all the supplies you’ll need and to see the instructions.

Instructions

1. Cut off the top of the cereal box.

2. Using the box as a template, cut out paper to cover the front, back, and sides of the box. 

3. Using Mod Podge, glue all the papers onto the box.  Smooth out from the center to get eliminate bubbles and wrinkles.

4. Cut out embellishment pieces from cardstock and decorative papers into the shapes of the owl’s eyes, wings, and beak.  Glue pieces onto the box.

5. Further embellish with a skirt and bow if you wish.  Boys may want to add a bow tie to their owl.

6. Glue google eyes onto the paper eyes of the owl.
