My latest craft project :-) I've slowly been making owl bunting for the new office at work - in my obsession with owls! Inspiration for the owls came from a photo on 'Chocolate fishies' blog and those sold by 'Missy Mack' on etsy. Here's how I made it....
Materials:
Material -for the owl and for the tum
Thread
Felt
Buttons
Brown embroidery thread
Step One: Cutting the fabric
Make two paper templates - A) the main owl body (adding at 1 cm around the edge) and B) the smaller tummy. Pin on to material and use as a template. Each owl needs two A's and one B.
Step Two: Adding the features
Stitch on the tummy – about 2cm from
the bottom of the owl.
Add some eyes – I used a larger cream felt and some funky buttons.
Step Three: Sewing the Owl together
Pin the two pieces of material
together (outside facing inwards) and sew around the edge except the bottom. Now
pull the owl inside out – it’s easier if the top point is cut flat and the
slits made around the edges.
Step Four: Final touches
Slip stitch the bottom together. Now sew on the nose – I used
brown embroidery thread. Fold over the beak and slip stitch in place (hidden )
Step Five: Make the bunting
