Cut two ovals 1 1/2 by 1 inch from yellow. Cut two circles from black that will fit inside the ovals. Glue together. Then glue onto the paper roll above the feathers.

Before you glue on the wing pieces, make your owl’s glasses. Make a loop near the center of the pipe cleaner. Thread the end through the circle. Make another circle near the first one. Twist the two ends of the pipe cleaner together. Make the glasses so that it will fit around the owl's head.

Now cut two more tear shapes 3 inches long for the wings.

Glue the sides of the pipe cleaner to the roll. Glue the wings over the sides of the pipe cleaner. Hold until the wing begins to stick. Let the glue dry.

For the graduation hat, measure the top of the bottle cap. Add 1/2 inch to both sides and make a square from paper.

Fold the string in half. Then fold in half two more times. The piece should measure 6 inches.

Hold one end. Take one of the cut ends and make a loop around the end that you are holding. Pull the cut end through the loop. You should have made a knot. Do this step one more time. 

Cut the loops on the other end.

Put a drop of glue in the center of the bottle cap. Add the string. Then glue the paper square on the cap.

Place your graduation cap on one of the ears on your owl. Now give this cute owl to someone that you know that is graduating this year! Don’t forget to wish him or her congratulations!

Add the stuffing and sew the bottom shut.
