🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Shape Before Gluing: Lay out all the owl parts like wings, eyes, and feathers first to adjust positioning before committing to adhesive.
- Feather Texture: Lightly crumple paper feathers or use layered cuts to add subtle depth, making the owl’s body look fluffier without extra materials.
- Eye Spacing Tip: Place the eyes closer together for a cuter, more whimsical look, or space them wider apart to create a curious expression.
- Natural Color Palettes: Stick with muted fall colors like burnt orange, mustard yellow, and deep browns to give the owl a cozy, seasonal vibe.
- Mini Leaf Accents: Glue tiny leaves onto the owl’s wings or around the base to create a more detailed, storytelling scene without making it complicated.
- Simple Perch: Cut a small strip of brown paper or use a twig to create a quick "branch" under the owl for an easy setting.
