This Hedwig Paper Craft is a Fun Harry Potter Craft for Any Kid!
The kiddo wanted another Wizarding World craft marathon, so we made this Hedwig paper craft to go with our other Harry Potter crafts!
Hedwig Paper Craft
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we are serious fans of the Wizarding World. It’s so fun to watch the movies through the kiddo’s eyes – to read the stories together and let her experience all the magic that I love too. But we really bond over crafts, so of course, when she asked for some Harry Potter crafts time, we were making this Hedwig paper craft in a flash!

I made the little template, but the little one worked out the kinks and made this Hedwig craft in a few colors. She wanted ALL the owls in the owlery. You might have guessed but we didn’t stop with Hedwig – check out all of our Harry Potter character paper rolls with free templates here.

Tips to Make this Harry Potter Paper Craft
- Click here to get the free printable template to make your Hedwig paper craft. I recommend using a paper roll as your base, but if you don’t have one, you can make one by simply doubling-up on the body piece.
- Making Hedwig is definitely the pinnacle of my week (I love that sweet owl more than is humanly rational), but don’t stop there. You can make a Dobby with the same idea and sized roll.
- Speaking of getting creative, if you really wanted to amp-up your experience, you could make a couple of paper suitcases from different color craft papers and stack them. Then, Hedwig would have an adorable little perch. All it takes is a couple of little boxes and a bit of decoration on them.
