Felt Owl Pal


Materials:
*Sheet of felt in the color of your choice for the owl's body
*Felt and/or fabric in colors of your choice for the owl's wings, belly, beak, and eyes
*Embroidery floss
*Needle
*All purpose adhesive
*Stuffing
*Chalk
*Scissors

Directions:
*Print out an owl template.  Here's the one I made for my owl:


*Cut out the pieces of the template.  Using chalk, trace the pieces onto the chosen felts and fabrics.  You will need two copies of the owl's body, two large circles for the owl's eyes, and two small circles for the owl's pupils.
*Using a running stitch (or perhaps a blanket stitch if you are making your owl's belly from felt), sew on the owl's belly, then sew on the owl's wings.
*Using a blanket stitch, sew together the owl's body, leaving an opening large enough for you to add the stuffing.  Insert stuffing into your owl until it reaches the desired fullness, then sew closed.
*Glue on the owl's eyes and beak.  Now you have your very own owl pal :)
