month before chris and i's wedding!
i can't believe it! a baby niece! :)
i'm so excited, she's the first girl grandbaby!
although, i was not planning to contribute
too much to the baby shower, for obvious
reasons. (i'm getting married and have a ton
of my own things and planning to do!)
when i heard about her theme being
'owl-y' i knew i had to make
these owl goody bags i saw online. my
inner crafty self betrayed me! i just couldn't
turn away! but i figured
i could take a break from planning the
wedding for these adorable bags!
here's my tutorial:
i used:
12x12 paper
a candle and a water bottle lid for tracing
brown paper lunch bags
scissors
glue sticks
first i typed 'owl goodie bags' into google
to get an idea. i saw some faaaaancy
baggies! i made my baggies simple since i'm
on borrowed time!
then, i took some white paper and traced a
circle with the bottom of a candle for the
whites of the owls eyes.
next, i used a water bottle cap to
trace the owls pupils. as you can see
in the next picture the small black
circles are what i've cut, i traced on
the back of it so i could see it better!
then comes the owls cute little tummies!
i just found a petal template online and
traced it onto the backs of the printed paper.
the finishing touch is the owl's beak.
this was fairly easy to cut, just
make a diamond shape but elongate one end of it.
and here's the finished product!
i did want to add eyebrows or something
to make it appear more like an owl but some
of the ones i saw on the google search
looked a bit too mean, i thought these
were perfect for a baby shower!
i was a little upset that the glue
didn't stick the paper onto the bag well,
but i just put the bags under some
books and it seems to have worked!
