Next up is Dianna, with a very fun project to share.



Hi everyone! Dianna here with a new Gina's Designs product, a Door Owl!

The owl is 14-1/2 by 11-1/2 not counting the branch, so she is on the large size.  She comes dark brown wood which I spray painted white.  Note:  do not let the guys who work with you stack the damp pieces of wood together (they were trying to be helpful :)  that is what caused the dark splotches).

I then painted the Emma the Owl (yes I named her) with a teal glitter spray and papered the wings with a checked pattern paper from Joann's.  I used a coordinating a striped paper on the "B".  The B is for our last name.  Not liking the lack of depth from the glitter paint, I then added low lights and highlights with Stickles.  I also used a white paint pen to cover the dark marks from the earlier mentioned stacking of damp pieces

Then I punched out 60 -  3/4 inch circle and 60 - 1 inch circles from 4 coordinating papers.  I did this while watching TV.   It does not seem that much from the photo but believe me when I say that it took a while.

I glued the wings on first with Beacons 3-in-1 because I am hanging this on my door and want it to hold up to the slamming of the door that my 16-year-old son does when he leaves.  He simply does not understand how to close a door without slamming.  I distressed each circle with ink, then proceeded to glue all of the circles using the wings as a marker.

And I glued.

Finally I finished gluing those circles!.

I used burlap for the nose and branch and distressed the edges.  The eyes are 1-1/4 inch circle punch with a 3/4 inch circle punch out of brown.  The leaves are coordinating green paper.  Burlap twine was used to hang Emma the Owl.
