Supplies
Felt, small amounts in 3 colors
A small amount of patterned fabric
2 buttons
Embroidery thread
Pins
Needle
Paper
Printer
Scissors

Printable Pattern
Print out the template so that the owl body is 4 inches (10.16 cm) wide at the bottom.



Instructions
Cut the templates out, following the lines.

Using the templates cut 2 body pieces in the main color of felt, 2 outer eye pieces in the contrasting color of felt, 2 eye shapes in the main color of felt, 1 beak shape in the color of felt chosen for it, and 1 tummy shape in the patterned fabric.

For the wings, cut 1 in the contrasting color of felt and 1 in the patterned fabric, then flip the template and repeat.


Position the tummy fabric on the bottom edge of the front of the owl and applique on with the embroidery floss using random straight stitches.


Place one button in the center of the smaller felt eye shape with the outer eye shape underneath.

Sew on the button and then fix the eye, again with the embroidery floss and using random straight stitches.

Repeat for the other eye.


Attach the beak between the eyes by folding it in half, then sewing 2 or 3 tacking stitches with the embroidery floss.
