How to make an owl from apples?

A wise and funny owl can be made from a huge number of materials. Spectacular crafts are obtained not only from forest gifts, but also from the fruits of various fruit trees. In today's article, we will take a closer look at how you can make an elegant owl from ripe apples.

There are many interesting ways to make a beautiful owl from green or red apples. The simplest, but very attractive option is to lay out the slices in the shape of an adorable bird on a plate. Such edible crafts are made extremely simple, but they look very original, especially if the color of the apple contrasts sharply with the color of the plate.

A very beautiful owl will turn out from a ripe green apple. To make a creative cut, it is enough to stock up on only 1 large fruit and 1 small one. The neat legs and beak of an "apple" bird can be made from carrots or small orange (or any other) gummies. You will also need to find the components that will make up the large and expressive owl eyes. You will need white and black circles from any edible materials.

Making slices step by step.

• The green apple must be washed thoroughly, and then divided exactly in half.
• Parts of the fruit, where the branches were, will need to be cut out, but do not rush to throw these "parts" away. Small corners can be cut out of them to make ears for an owl.
• One half of the apple should be thinly cut, after which all the prepared parts of this half should be divided in half. As a result, you will get several semicircles, from which the "fluffy" wings of an owl will be formed in the future.
• Put the whole half of the large fruit on a plate.An owl head will be made from half a small green apple. This part must be placed in the upper part of the large half.
• On the sides of the owl's body, thin slices should be laid out in layers, obtained from the large half, cut off at the first stage.
• The triangular owl ears should be laid out over the bird's head.
• Eyes can be made from round black and white candies, marshmallows. Some housewives sculpt these parts from dough.
• A small beak made from a carrot (or other component) should be laid out right between the bird's eyes. 2 small triangular pieces that play the role of legs should be placed at the very bottom of the bird's body.

Such a creative slicing on a plate will turn out to be very original! In this way, you can pleasantly surprise both guests and children who have visited you. As an addition, you can place salty or sweet straws, a sprig of vanilla under the bird's legs.

A truly chic and lush owl can be made from two large and juicy apples. Such a craft will look spectacular, so it will easily become a luxurious decoration for any table. An owl made from two apples is much easier than it might seem at first glance.

Below we will consider the main stages of making a beautiful owl from two apples with our own hands.

To make such beauty, you will need to prepare:

• several toothpicks;
• black peppercorns or clove heads;
• sharpened knife.

If all the necessary components are found, you can proceed to the preparation of apple parts, from which the owl will then be assembled. We will find out exactly what details we are talking about.

• You need to wash 2 apples. One of them will need to cut both the back and the front a couple of slices. In the future, these details will play the role of owl wings.
• The second apple should also be cut a couple of slices, but only on one side. Moreover, these two cuts should be located at a slight angle in relation to each other.
• In the next step, using the tip of a knife, small holes will need to be made in the center of each of the cuts.
• 3 pieces of a triangular shape should be cut from a piece of apple. One of these parts will serve as a beak, and the other 2 will be the ears of an owl.

All the prepared parts remain to be assembled into a single structure, which forms a beautiful wise bird.

When all the necessary parts of the owl are cut off, you can proceed directly to the assembly of the original edible craft. Let's analyze step by step what, how and where to attach.

• The slices cut from the front and back in the first step will need to be secured to the sides of the slices left. These will be the wings of a bird.
• The holes made in the slices with the edge of a knife will need to be filled with peppercorns or other suitable material. These will be the eyes of an owl.
• The owl's beak and ears will need to be fixed on the head of a wise bird. For these purposes, toothpicks should be used.
• The head of the apple bird will be ready. All that remains is to attach it to the body.

After that, the creative craft of two apples can be considered complete. Such an elegant, but at the same time elementary construction in manufacturing, can be made for a school, various contests and competitions.
