Graduation Owl Assembly Line Tips
Welcome to washcloth crafts!
The Graduation
Owl was the first critter I ever designed over 20 years ago for my boys’
kindergarten classes. Of course, the owl can be used for any age group, especially if you roll up a little cash to tuck inside the tummy. Other treats can be a
candy kiss or a plastic toy or a promise note for dinner and a movie or other activities which can also be a special surprise for the graduate.
A little Velcro on each side of the owl's body will help to keep the opening closed to prevent anything valuable from falling out. The owl doesn’t necessarily require any sewing, unless you want to sew up the front and back of the body and even that is optional. Also, you can use googly eyes for a crazier look.

As noted in the Owl Tips, if you are making them for a whole classroom,
start early cutting out the various parts little by little, and then assemble the owls
all at once. (See the link at the very top of the page to get the tips.) Make some extra owls for siblings and friends, if you have extra washcloths. Remember,
kids like a variety of colors, especially if you can’t find tan cloths,
although Wal-Mart almost always has tan cloths. They usually display the
washcloths or utility cloths in various parts of the store, like house wares near the towels and by the
mops and household cleaners and by the dishcloths and potholders. Sometimes discount department stores
have a special display of the cloths sold in bulk in the spring and fall. If you
can’t find large packages of red washcloths for the Teacher’s Boo Boo
Apple, any relatively thin, red, border-less washcloths will do.
