For less than $1.00 and about 10 minutes of time (depending on how many helpers you have) &nbsp;you can make one too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These owl headbands are great for pretend play in the garden and could be a start to a Halloween Costume. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you do is cut out the owl shapes from felt. You need an owl base, an outline for owl eyes, a white portion of eyes into two connected circles, two smaller circles for eye pupils, and then a triangle for the owl beak. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/owl-headband-pattern-001.jpg\" title=\"\">Here is our owl headband pattern<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start sewing, begin with the eye center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then switching thread color, you&#8217;ll sew around the white eye portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step you will take your scissors to fringe around the brown portion of the eyes to make it appear like features on this owl costume.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to add the owl beak! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the owl&#8217;s beak at a right angle under the owl&#8217;s eye and start sewing from the middle down. Then you will move the left side down below the eye to create a three-dimensional effect for the beak.  Sew from the middle down to the other side to attach to the owl headband. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step is to attach the owl to the headband on each side of the owl you&#8217;ve made. You will also want to go under the fridge you&#8217;ve made to hide it to attach to the band for extra wear and tear for kids to use again and again. Just make it the size that fits your child&#8217;s head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of owl headband costume works well for kids who are not hat or mask fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to make an owl costume headband\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BNjAkXIBGQw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Video Tutorial for Owl Costume Headband<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You could probably do this on your own &#8211; but why not let the kids help?
