Washcloth Owl
Usually you come to this webpage and discover step by step instructions with photos of each step for the take-and-make. This month I found the idea from a YouTube video, so instead of redoing the work of the original creator their video is linked here for you to follow along.
Hope you enjoy this craft making adorable washcloth owls! And thank you to Amanda Carlisle from A Few Shortcuts for the inspiration.
If you are doing this activity with your favorite young person or Harry Potter fan, yes this owl is flying the Gryffindor colors.
Feel free to change the color of the ribbon to fit your décor, or to match the seasons.

Buttons
Flower Stickers
Stem Wire
Floral Foam
Mini Watering Can
Felt (optional)
Tools Needed:
Scissors or wire cutters
Knife
Small nail or needle
Pencil
Pliers (optional)

Instructions

Do as few or as many twists around the pencil as desired, how many stems you place coils in is also a personal decision. (Optional: to cover the sharp wires in back, using felt pieces trim small circles, glue onto back of button flowers using a glue gun. I didn't take the time to do this step, and liked how it came out without the additional work. But people with little ones, or who are displaying the bouquet at their table may prefer the way this looks.)
