- Attach a twig with paws to the base. For a perch, a dry twig or wooden skewer is suitable. Wrap a twine around it in three turns at some distance from each other, forming legs. Then glue the element with paws to the base.
- Small parts. Owl's wings are different. On one there are several loops, and on top of a twine spiral, and on the second - a twine spiral, and around in the shape of a wing there is a fluffy thread. For the tail, you need to glue several loops of twine, adjust the twisted spiral on top. For each eyelet, you will need two identical short lengths of twine. Fold them in half, fixing with a drop of glue at the fold. Then stick the ears to the head. Glue a twine spiral on the tummy, glue a half of a pearl bead in the middle, or you can do without it.
- Draw the eyes. Draw two yellow circles on cardboard, or cut them out of colored paper. Make black pupils in them, then eyelids. Now glue the eyes of the owls. It remains to make white highlights on the pupils with a toothpick. Stick on the coffee beans-beaks.
- Hat. Cut out an elongated triangle from any red fabric, sew it on one side and turn it inside out.
