Owl Treat Bags

Hello School Girls!
Today's post involves making these cute owl treat bags!

Since I've decided to incorporate the owl theme in my 2015-16 classroom theme decor, I decided to make these cute owl treat bags.

I've seen a similar version somewhere on Pinterest, but without any directions.  So, I decided to tackle this project and document my DIY process as a resource just for you!  Don't worry, these owls are pretty easy to make.  The hardest job was making the owl template and I'm going to tell you how I did it.

Here's what I did:

I used a piece of medium card stock paper that I had laying around and I free lanced the shape of the owl based on the original Pinterest picture.  I decided how big my owls would be based on the size of the cellophane bag I decided to use (width wise) making sure that the owl head covered my cello bag.  As you can see from the picture below, the owl head is about 3in long by 4 inches wide.  The bags are also 3 x 4 inches.  Normally, I would make my topper slightly bigger than the bags and not the exact size (50#  bags cost me $1.99 at Party City). 

From the collage below you can see that I used the cardboard template to trace and cut the owl from the colored polka dotted card stock. I used 2 different size circle punches and I cut 2 white larger circles and 2 black smaller circles for the eyes.  I used double sided tape to glue the eyes to the owl head.  I also used left over orange and gold paper (scraps from the traced owl) to make small triangles for the mouth.  I glued those to the owl and viola!

Here is the finished result, cute little baby owls!!

Hope you enjoy making these.  Please leave your comments and questions below!
Happy Owl making!
