Adorable owls made with toilet roll tubes and fabric scraps!
These adorable owls are simple to make, and although owls are typically thought of as being a fall or hallowe’en animal, I think these little guys are cute enough to make at any time of the year.
Supplies for making your owls:
- toilet rolls
- fabric scraps
- paint
- googly eyes
- buttons/gems/jewels
- glue
- orange felt or construction paper (beaks)
Start by squeezing the end of a toilet paper tube to form the ears of the owl. You can tape it in place, but I made ours up ahead of time, and used my glue-gun.
Then have your hooligans paint the tubes.
A paintbrush and some water keeps baby busy and happy while we’re crafting.
Now it’s time to dec your owl out with wings, eyes, a beak and anything else you want to use – sequins, beads, buttons etc.

Thanks again for letting me know about that. It was an easy fix. There are probably a few others scattered thru the blog that aren’t linking up as well, as I know I made the same mistake with a few links. If you ever run across them, please let me know!
I love this project! I’m not sure if my 2.5 year old has enough patience yet, but maybe we’ll give it a try this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
You might be surprised. 3 of the Hooligans that took part today, have all just turned two, and they all loved it.
Super cute!
Now these are cute! (well worth the wait) Pinned and added to my to do list:)
Oh Jackie, these are gorgeous, I’m going to share this with my primary colleagues as I think it would be right up their street – love them – why are you so talented!!???
> Not so sure about the “talented” part, Kierna, but I’m a good copy-cat! lol Yes, please do share! I absolutely LOVE all the sharing! (after all, where would we copy-cats be without others to share THEIR brilliant ideas!)
