How to Make a Tin Can Owl

Remove labels from a tin can and clean it well. Let it dry, then begin wrapping orange yarn around the can. It is meant to be loose with gaps between each thread, so don't worry about it covering the entire can.

Now, set the can aside and paint the two larger bottle caps with brown paint, and set them aside to dry.

Fold the foam paper in half and trace a wing shape onto it. Cut out the wing, then cut apart at the fold in the middle.

On the two wings, use a black marker to create squiggly marks to look like the feathers of the wings.

Now, glue the wings onto the sides of the can.

Then glue the small bottle cap into the now dry brown larger bottle caps. Glue the googly eyes inside those.

Attach the eyes to the top edge of the tin can. Cut out a small piece of yellow felt or foam paper in yellow or orange and glue it below the yes to create the beak of the owl.
