Owl Burlap Fall Flag

How we did it:
Materials List
- burlap
- wooden dowel
- hot glue / hot glue gun
- ribbon
- apples
- acrylic paint
- tacky glue
- felt
- buttons
- pipe cleaners
-
I first hot glued a wooden dowel to a square of burlap. This is a step for the grown-up as hot glue is, well, very hot!
-
Emma chose a pretty fall-colored ribbon and cut two pieces for me to tie to each side of the dowel.
-
Now it was time to get those apples out. We just happened to have a large and small apple so of course the kids thought a mama and baby owl would be fun to make.
-
We dipped each apple half into the paint and onto the burlap. Emma was very excited to lift them up to see the apple print she made.
-
We cut some felt into triangles and circles to create owl features, pipe cleaner snips for two little legs, and buttons to add some big owl eyes.
-
Tacky glue worked best for us. The owl was coming together and looking very adorable.
-
Look at these cute owls! Emma was one proud crafter, and I was excited to have a beautiful fall flag to display.
