It’s a Cinch – A Wise Old Bookish Owl

October 1, 2012  Halloween | It's a Cinch | My Projects | Uncategorized

There’s nothing like the joy of reading a great book.

Except maybe making something fabulous from a not so great book.

I love all things Halloween – have you seen my Halloween house tour?

I mean, whoooo wouldn’t love this?

Pop Up Book Page Owl Silhouette - easy way to make your own!  kellyelko.com

How To:

* Trace owl silhouette onto a book page (pack of owls from the dollar store – or print your own pattern)
* Draw eyes with black marker
* Cut out the owl (I used a tiny cuticle scissor) – do not cut along the bottom of the feet
* Bend owl up – secure with a piece of tape to make it stand upright

Owl bet you never did an easier craft!

I’m gearing up for Halloween, with lots more to come, starting with my Mummy Votives.

    Now I want to turn every book I own into a pop up book. I’m pinning this. Might see my picture on the Library wanted list.

    LOL on Karah’s comments … because I had the exact same thing happen to me with a book page project! In fact, there were a few other “x-rated” terms that stood out on mine too!

    What a clever idea!

    🙂

    I love the look of things made from books–but I can almost never bring myself to cut into them. I’ve bought some beautiful old books with the intention of doing something crafty, but I can never do it. I’m thinking the “not so great book” part is key to this project. 🙂

    Super cool! My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit “One Creative Weekend” on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
