Owl Drinking Glass Decorations

What You’ll Need

Felt fabric in two colors

Buttons

Rickrack ribbon

Scissors

Adhesive

Permanent marker

A tall drinking glass

Let’s Do it

Measure and cut a piece of felt that’s large enough to wrap around the drinking glass

with at least one inch of overlap. Place the bottom of your glass in the top-middle of the

felt, and then trace the top of the owl’s head and the inside edges of the ears.

Make two snips to create the outside edge of the triangle-shaped ears, and then cut

away the top and bottom of the felt to create a long, rectangular strip with the owl ears

in the middle.

Cut out a small triangle of felt in an alternate color to serve as the owl’s beak.

Glue the buttons to the felt to create the owl eyes; if desired, stack smaller buttons

inside larger ones to create a 3D effect.

Glue the beak and then the rickrack ribbon to the felt, and then let it all dry.

Wrap the felt around the drinking glass, glue the overlap together (taking care to not

glue the felt to the glass), and then trim away any excess.
