Felt Owl Ornament


Making a felt owl ornament requires the same procedure as the felt owl pal.  The only difference is the ornament requires a piece of ribbon so that you can hang it from your tree.

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
*Ribbon

Directions:
*Print out an owl template approximately the size you would like your owl ornament to be.  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, sew on the owl's belly, then sew on the owl's wings.
*Cut off about 2 1/2" of ribbon and fold in half to create a loop.  Sew to the back piece of the owl's body.
*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.
