Bar bar,
This a neat project I will have my kids do, as they like to make crafts. They are always wanting to make something. Also their Grandmother collects things owl things. So she would like to get one of this I'm sure. I think you could also use a cardboard can, like a cappuchino can or such with a plastic lid on top or a coffee can to make a bigger owl. You can make various sizes that way I think. For Father's Day my kids covered a cardboard can with various cut photos of themselves and even colored the top lid and gave it to their Dad, my husband for him to use to hold various things. He loved it and the time they spent doing it. He used it everyday to hold his keys and such. The children have made the pencil/pen holder cans like were in this section too and they are still being used for that. One year I made for valentine's Day a set of heart flowers, using drinking straws, cut paper hearts and a put them in a can I covered with construction paper. My husband still has it today. One year the kids made plastic bottle vases and put sand and silk flowers in the bottles and covered the bottles with there own message for Dad. he loved it and still has them. One year they made him hand and footprint plates on paper plates we had and he hung them on the wall, they can be laminated too so they are really protected. also when they were younger we traced their hand outline on a sweatshirt and a also on a jacket for their Dad and put their names and such on it. The Hand prints were on the pockets of the jacket, as it was a zip jacket, he still has that jacket today. The Sweatshirt, he still has too. He treasures their gifts they make him. One year he and the kids made me a blue glass vase of silk flowers in floral foam and put lace on the outside of the vase edge at the top. It was a nice surprise and I still have it to treasure. Our whole family likes to craft things including my husband, besides buying some gifts and personlizing them.
