- Cut 6 thin strips of licorice with 2 slightly shorter, these will be the eyelashes. Place a long then short then long piece of licorice on the corner of each eye, now dust with glitter.
- Place kit kats in a row under nose, spanning from one side of the owl's body to the other. Place small cut pieces of licorice to resemble the black keys on the white piano keys.
- Now place 2 white choc buds in the center below the piano keys to resemble feathers and continue the pattern down to base of owl. Place smarties in a similar feather pattern to resemble wings, see picture to follow.
