Emboss the accents with the embossing folder and glue onto Acorn.\u00a0Glue the lid and bottom of Acorn together with hot glue.<\/li>\n<li>Open the White svg file from December Door hangers SVG Kit and ungroup, you will\u00a0be using just the snowflake from this file.\u00a0Glue three snowflakes together for strength. Glue two more snowflakes on top of the\u00a0three angled so that it looks like fringe. Shape the snowflakes for the feet into a\u00a0cupped down position. These will be the feet for the owl.\u00a0Hot Glue those to the bottom front of the owl, fairly close together.<\/li>\n<li>Use a pencil or a stylus shape all holly leaves in a curved up position. Begin gluing larger holly leaves on the bottom back middle portion of the Acorn. Angle the\u00a0holly leaves as you glue in the shape of a birds tail.\u00a0Glue 4 rows like this, then on three of the holly leaves about the middle portion\u00a0of the tail, glue an extra holly leave on each one. This is to give the look of\u00a0long tail feathers.<\/li>\n<li>Use the Small Holly leaves as your body feathers. Glue sides at an angle toward\u00a0the back of the owl for the illusion of wings. Sides of the owl feathers on done\u00a0straight down starting at the bottom of the Acorn and work toward the top.\u00a0On the back of the owl, glue the small holy leave straight from the bottom toward\u00a0the top, add a few angled small holy leaves to the sides.<\/li>\n<li>Glue two Snowflakes together in an angled position as you would a flower. Use the\u00a0Y13 Copic Marker and color in the center of your snowflake. Around the inside edge\u00a0of the Y13 draw a circle with YR23. Go back over the circle with Y13 while it is\u00a0still wet to blend the colors. Do this to both snowflake eyes.\u00a0Just around the edge of the of the outer circle lightly draw a black edge. Use a\u00a0regular hole punch and punch two small black circles for the pupil. Adhere to the\u00a0center and use Glossy accents to affix the Epoxy over the center of each\u00a0snowflake. Hot glue the eyes in place.<\/li>\n<li>Shape 4 snowflakes into a cup shape. Hot glue the snowflakes that are to be the\u00a0ears in place at an angle with one in back of the other. I angled mine for interest.<\/li>\n<li>Cut a small Holly leaf in half and hot glue between the eyes pinching the sides a\u00a0bit to give the beak look. Use one of the snowflakes and cut with scissors the tips\u00a0off. curve them a bit and glue about 4 around the top of the beak to give the\u00a0ruffled feather look.<\/li>\n<li>Glue 4 holly leaves onto the top of the head between the ears and add the Enamel\u00a0dots for berries. Glue on a bow.<\/li>\n<li>Cut the soap box lid svg and emboss your accents with a snowflake pattern emboss\u00a0folder. Glue together.<\/li>\n<li>Cut the bottom box svg from patterned paper and glue it together. Ink your edges\u00a0to give a polished look.<\/li>\n<li>Put the lid on the box and glue the ferny greens cut at the size on the on excel\u00a0sheet to the top of the box. Lay one long piece of ferny green on the long top side\u00a0of the top of the box and the same on the other side. Glue two med ferny greens in\u00a0the middle of that on both short sides. Now hot glue your owl body onto the top of\u00a0the box.\u00a0Try to be careful with the amount of glue you use. You want the owl to be secure,\u00a0but not so that you can't hide any glue with extra ferny greens. Fill in areas\u00a0that need it with med and small ferny green pieces. This is so the owl looks like he\u00a0is sitting on a nest or a tree branch. Some of the fill in pieces can be curved up a\u00a0bit with your pencils or stylus.<\/li>\n<li>Glue a bow onto the front or desired embellishments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Design Tips<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_6792\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sharaspapercreations-sharalyn.blogspot.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6792\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6792       \" title=\"Kathy Helton\" src=\"https:\/\/svgcutsblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/sharalyn-svgcuts-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sharalyn Morgan - Guest Designer<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep the owl one or two colors. This makes the owl become the focus and not the paper you used.<\/li>\n<li>When choosing an embossing folder think about it adding texture and setting to the owl.<\/li>\n<li>Using a mouse pad under your paper when shaping with a stylus helps the paper to shape easier.<\/li>\n<li>Use Glossy accents to adhere the eyes as the epoxy sometimes comes off with heat and you wouldn't want your owl to be winking when the gift is opened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watching this owl come to life made me smile and will be sure to bring a smile to the recipient as well.
