Adorable Owl Heat Pack

Materials:
*Fabric with predominant color brown (make sure it's not highly flammable)
*Brown felt
*White felt
*Orange felt
*Black felt
*Felt in four bright colors (e.g. green, blue, purple, and pink)
*Chalk
*White rice
*Needle and white thread
*Sewing machine

Directions:
*Resize my template, included below, to the desired size, and print.  You may also want to print a copy of what the owl should look like assembled, which is also included below.

*Cut out all of the pieces of the template and then start tracing onto the corresponding fabric or felt using chalk.  You will need 2 copies of the owl's body from the fabric, 4 wings in brown felt, two large circles cut from the white felt for eyes, two small black circles for pupils, one orange triangle for a beak, and four hearts of each of the four bright colors for feathers.
*Stitch together two pairs of wings and repeat for the other two copies.  By sewing together 2 instead of using just one, this gives the wings some stability.
*Sew the eyes, beak, and feathers to one copy  of the owl's body.  When sewing the feathers, start with the bottom row of feathers and work your way upward.
*Place the copy of the owl's body with the face facing up.
*Place the wings on top with the side with the nice stitches facing down.  Position them such that they are at the height that you want the wings to be at and such that a tiny bit of the flat edge of the wing is sticking out over the owl's body on either side.
*Place the other copy of the owl's body pattern side down on top and begin sewing together, leaving an opening to pour in the rice.
*Add rice until your owl reaches its desired fullness.
*Sew closed and your heat pack is ready to use.  Just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds.
