Have you come to craft a very special owl? We’re sure you tin can do it!
Here’s what you need:
- An upcycled tin can
- Glue
- 2 googly eyes
- 2 bottle caps (plastic or metal)
- A clothes pin
- 3 pipe cleaners
- Paper, foam, or felt sheets
TIP: Upcycle an old piece of paper or newspaper instead of using something new!
