DIY: Harry Potter Party Owl Post

I feel that Harry Potter will always be one of the popular themes for birthday parties, and we all know no Harry Potter party is complete without Hedwig the owl. I stumbled across this wonderful tutorial by Tonya on how to make your own Harry Potter inspired owl invitations at fraction of the cost. You can make as many invitations as you want by following the simple set of instructions then place the rolled up invite under the legs of the owl to be delivered! You'll need the following materials to make the invitations:

- sheet of paper

- chipboard

- cookie and fondant cutters

- glitter card stock

- crepe paper for feathers

- translucent vellum 

- scissors

- glue gun

DIY: Owl Shaped Bird Feeder

This is another great tutorial that recycles the materials like milk carton that would otherwise have ended up in the trash (in case you missed, you can find the diy shared earlier on how to make an owl vase using empty plastic bottles). Follow the instructions shared by Sara Rivka on her blog to make these owl shaped bird feeders. This is a simple and an easy project in which kids can be involved who will have fun painting and drawing the owls on the carton.

You'll need:

- recycled milk or juice cartons

- white paint

- sand paper

- a permanent black marker

- string for hanging
