Owl Party Favors

For this post, I teamed up with Oriental Trading to create these fun mini Owl Party Favors.  Wouldn't they be cute for just about anything?  What an adorable little treat for a party, teacher, friend, etc...  I was very impressed with the quality and ease of putting these little guys together.  I added my own touch with glitter on the eyes and wings.  So, if you love owls, give these cuties a try.

Supplies needed:
Oriental Trading Owl Treat Holder Craft Kit
Original Tacky Glue, or any other strong adhesive
Stickles Glitter Glue from Oriental Trading
Skittles, M&Ms or any other small candy

Directions:

1. Fold and adhere the owls together as shown in the kit directions.
2. Add features (eyes, beak, wings, etc...) as you like.  I mixed up the colors. 
3. Add the Stickles on top of the eyes and wings to add some glitter.  Let dry completely.
4. Fill with the candy of your choice.
