I had a blast making a ton of different colored Punch Art Owls and almost couldn’t wait to share the instructions with you! This Punch Art: Heart Owl Valentine Card is a perfect Valentine for both genders, but the boys seem to gravitate towards it more than girls.
How to Make a Punch Art Owl:
It is so much easier than it looks, I promise 🙂
Step by Step Instructions:
Step One: Gather your tools and supplies! You will need:
- both sizes of the old CM heart punches (need hearts in the following sizes: 1-1/2, 1-1/4, 1, 3/4, & 1/4)
- the CM small circle punch
- the CM large star punch
- a heart corner punch
- craft tweezers
- fine line glue
- photo splits
- orange cardstock
- white cardstock
- 2 – 4×6 coordinating paper/cardstock scraps. I like to use the double-sided paper from Creative Memories because it coordinates and only takes ONE page to make a ton of owls. 🙂
Step Two: Punch out your punchie parts.
- From the orange paper you will need: the star and a 3/4 inch heart. Cut the heart in half and cut one point off the star for each owl you are making. The orange will go a very long way 🙂 The heart will even come out of the center of the star if you set it up correctly.
- From the white you will need two 3/4 inch circles.
- From one of your Owl colors you will need: two 1-1/2 inch hearts (body of owl), one 1 inch heart, and one 3/4 inch heart
- From the second color you will need: one 1-1/4 inch heart, one 1 inch heart, and the two tiny hearts (actually slightly less than 1/4 inch. I simply used a heart corner rounder and saved the hearts.
Step Three: Start layering your owl. You will need to use the fine line glue and some photo splits to help hold some of the pieces together. For example:
You will barely overlap the two pieces of the feet, then if you take a photosplit leaving one side of the protective covering intact and put it on the back side, you can easily attach the feet to the owl body.
