Pinteresting Stuffed Owls

If you read my Owl Handwarmers post, you'll remember I mentioned an obsession.  I made these for every child in my life. My mother in law got one that represented each member of our family (7 owls in total). See below:

Again, I didn't take enough pictures...I will add them as I find them.

For my sweet daughter.

These were for my mother-in-law for Christmas last year. There is one for each member of our family. I'm especially proud of the Air Force logo on the hat my brother-in-law never takes off:

My Version of the Owl Handwarmers:

Just received an email from my mom with this picture:

You can see they have been well loved and used often - AND THE FACES ARE STILL THERE!! It can be done!

Several friends and family members recieved these as Christmas gifts. Of course, I didn't photograph each one before wrapping it. But I did include this little card with each one (photo also 'borrowed' from lily rose's etsy page.)

I really got into owls after this project! Check out my other owl post.

Time Required: I got it down to about an hour a pair. The first one took too long to mention. Yours won't take that long. You will put the face on first, right?

Materials Required: Fabric, Sewing Machine (unless you want to hand sew them), rice to fill them (NOT INSTANT!), needle and thread to close.

Skills Required: Template Making (don't forget your seam allowance), Sewing
