here's how to make both...

you'll need - feathers + leather cording + colored tape like this |
step 1. put together 3-5 feathers of your choosing
step 2. cut a piece of cording about 5" long and fold it in half to make a loop
step 3. wrap a small piece of tape to hold it all together.
*note - this kind of paper tape is not super sticky, so i recommend using scotch tape first for binding and then adding the colored paper tape over top for looks. this kind of tape doesn't do well when it's wrapped over itself too many times. also make sure you've trimmed the stems off any long feathers so that one tape width covers the leather cording and stems.

you'll need - cardboard rolls + spray paint + sharpie |
step 1. cut (if necessary) cardboard roll to toilet paper size
step 2. spray paint
step 3. once dry fold top inward on two sides to create the owls ears
step 4. use a black fine point sharpie to draw on the owl
*note - i recommend rubber gloves and a comfort grip handle like this to give you more control (whenever you are spray painting really). also if it's too cold for the paint to cure properly bring them inside once they're tacky to dry the rest of the way. i used a couple different brands from what i had around the house and the rust-oleum worked so much better than even the more expensive craft store brands - it looked better over the cardboard, dried faster, and was easier to write over once dry.
