STEP 3 : Draw and cut owls from corrugated sheet

• Take the corrugated box flap. • Draw few 5 to 6 owls on it. (We have taken 6 owls, the number it depends on the periphery of the kettle)

STEP 4 : Decorate the owls.

• We are going to decorate the owl with different elements like the dry pasta, ear buds, match sticks, plastic bottle lids, bolts, bottle caps, the sequins, cut dana, ball chain, shells, candy sticks, wooden buttons, ornamental stones using Fabric Glue. • Let it dry. • We are going to make few parts of the owl with Mouldit. • Take Mouldit resin base and hardener; mix it thoroughly to make even dough. • Take the dough, shape it to make the wings, the long ears and legs of the owl sticking it with Fabric Glue aesthetically. Let it dry. • Refer to the image to see the owls at this stage.
