I am making a Holstein, and here are the shapes you need to punch. 2 - round tab (confetti white), 1 - small oval (blush blossom), 1 - 5 petal (black), and 2 - 1/4 circle (black). To get the horns, you punch your round tabs out first, and then moving the punch over slightly, you punch again, as pictured. I colored the black spots on one of the round tabs for my cow. To do a jersey cow, try using creamy caramel.
Add the blush oval for the nose of the cow and the 1/4 circles for the nostrils. Cut 2 of the petals off the flower for the ears. Glue those and the horns behind the head.
Now, taking the extra round tab punch, glue it to the back of the head. Then, attach it to the popsicle stick and glue on some googlie eyes. Your completed cow. Have fun and happy punching!!

Thank you for the tutorial. I used my little cow on a milk carton for my son. I change it slightly to what you created mainly the eyes because I didn't have those but I think it turned out ok. thanks again.

Hi Julie!
Ilove your Hostein Cow!
My maiden name is Holsten, my first name is Lois. So when boys weren't calling me Lois Lane - Superman's girlfriend, they were calling me Holstein - like the 'cow' but they were not making fun that I was big, just the 'name'.... LOL
Thanks for the school day nick name reminder.... Smiles:)
