1. 

   

   First cut out two squares of fabric, I prefer to use one plain piece and one patterned, but it depends on the owl you want to make.

2. 

   

   Next fold the fabric in half and make a mark with a pen or pencil.




3. 

   

   Then from the line draw a curved line inwards towards the bottom on both pieces of fabric.

4. 

   

   Cut these out and place together and trim the edges to make them the same.




5. 

   

   Pin the two pieces of fabric together with the patterned sides facing inwards.

6. 

   

   Use a sewing machine or needle and thread to sew round the edges leaving the top open.

7. 

   

   When you have completed this remove the pins and fold the fabric back out.

8. 

   

   Stuff the owl so it is half full.
   (you could use dried lentils, kidney beans or rags for a beany/eco-friendly version)

9. 

   

   Fold the top sides in like an origami fold and then fold over, so the point goes towards the middle of the plain fabric.

10. 

    

    This will be the owls beak, pin it then stitch it down.

11. 

    

    Cut out circles for eyes out of felt or any fabric that won't fray.

12. 

    

    Add some pupils to the owls eyes to make him look super cute! Remember owls have amazing eyes do them justice by being imaginitive with shape, size and colour.

13. 

    

    Add a beak! Yey you finished... make more so he isn't lonely and there, you now have an owl family!
