Owl party bags made from paper bags

 My son Luke's birthday is on the 14th November, so i decided to gt his party bags ready whilst i had a spare moment....low-and-behold i could not find them, we bought some standard plastic one, which are available in most stores.

I needed a back up plan, well where do I turn??? to my stash of course.  I bought brown paper bags with the intention of making a paper bag scrap album...but did not get round to it., thank goodness.....

After perusing Pinterest I thought I would make some paper bag owls.

Materials

Brown paper bags

White paper

Black paper

Brown paper

Nestibles circle die-cuts

Orange Sharpies marker

Method

Using the nestibles circle die cuts I cut out black circles, using the smallest circle, white next smallest and brown next size up and finally white circles the largest size die.

Next i glued the white to the brown, then the black to the white to create the owls eyes.

Fold the top of the paper bag in half and then fold to create a "V" shape - this will be the owls beak.

Glue the large white circle on to the paper bag, just so it comes under the "V" shape

Colour the triangle point of the bag in orange, to represent the beak.  Glue on the eyes

Add orange feet

and there you have it..... owl bag all ready to fill with goodies.

once filled staple closed.... i added gift tags with lukes name on......

Hope you find this tutorial helpful.........these owls were so easy to make, and they certainly beat the generic plastic bags that you find in most parties
