Eyes
Use one strip of white quilling paper and half a strip of black quilling paper for each eye.
Use a toothpick to apply a tiny amount of glue to one end of a paper. Join the two strips of paper together.
With a slotted quilling tool, start rolling from the open end of the
black quilling paper. Make a tight coil. Finish making the coil by
applying a little glue at the end of the white quilling paper.
Repeat with another strip of black and white paper to make another tight coil for the other eye.
Cut a 4cm strip of yellow quilling paper. Roll it up to make a very
small coil. Use a pair of pliers (or your fingers) to pinch one end of
the coil so that it looks like a small triangular.
The above instructions above are illustrated below in pictures.

The Body
Next, make the body of the owl by joining two strips of blue quilling paper together to make a big closed coil.
Make two closed coils with half a strip of the pink quilling paper
for each coil. Press the coils with your fingers to make them into
teardrop shapes.
Now we have all the ‘parts,’ it’s time to assemble them together.
Apply a little glue on the side of the eyes to stick them together. Put
the little yellow coil somewhere in between them.
Use your fingers to shape the blue coil so that it looks like a tulip flower or something similar to the picture below.
Place the blue coil below the two eyes and glue it there.

can use more strips of paper if you want to make a bigger or fatter owl!
Wrap the strip of blue paper around the coils. Secure the end of the
quilling paper with glue. Apply a little glue to the pink teardrop
coils and stick them on each side of the big blue coil to form the
wings.
Make a circle with a short strip of blue quilling paper. Flatten the circle and paste it on the top of the quilled owl.
