Owl garland 2
Please, read all of the instructions before starting your project.
Felt Felt can basically be divided into two types: wool felt or washable felt. Wool felt is recommended for these felties. These quality materials help owls look their very best.

Cutting tiny shapes
Cut out the paper pattern roughly and attach it onto felt. Roughly cut out the felt around the pattern, which will be easier to maneuver and cut to final shape without removing paper.

Sewing and embroidery These owls are embroidered and stitched together with embroidery floss. In case you´re not familiar with one of the stitches, you can practice the stitches a few times on a felt scraps before working on a ornament. None of the stitches are difficult, but can take some practice to get perfect. Always keep your stitches and the space between them the same length. Be consistent with your sewing tension. Or, if you want to keep embroidery to a minimum, you can sometimes glue on certain elements, instead of embroidering them. You can experiment and use your imagination to customize the project. These illustrations will help you with any unfamiliar stitches:

1. Appliqué Stitch: Stitching a felt piece onto a felt surface. Place the appliqué on the background felt. Make tiny stitches perpendicular to the edge of the appliqué.2. Overcast Stitch: Simple stitch over the edge of the felt. Also called whip-stitch, is used to attach two pieces of felt. This isn´t a decorative stitch, so always use floss that matches the color of the felt and make the stitches small and neat.3. Straight Stitch: Use a simple straight stitch to create a motif.4. Back Stitch: This simple stitch creates a solid line so it´s great for outlining shapes or creating text.A backstitch gets its name because you create it moving the needle a stitch backward before moving it forward to create the next stitch.

Appliquéstitch
If you are using your owl as a brooch, attach the pin to the owl back. Sew a brooch finding securely to the center of the head back with doubled thread. If you want, you can cover the base of the pin back with a small felt heart.

Print the pattern pieces on page 13 onto paper and cut out to make templates. Trace templates onto felt using a felt marker or pencil and cut out on the line. Use the templates to cut two owl and two wing shapes from the rose felt; one beak shape from the golden felt and one face and two wing shapes from the light pink felt; and one mask from the medium pink felt and one belly from the dark pink felt. Pin the face, mask and the belly in place on owl front shape. Using the matching sewing thread, appliqué stitch around the edges. Carefully, make a tiny hole with the tip of a very sharp pair of embroidery scissors. Insert safety eye and connectors at back. Center the owl beak between the owl eyes, checking against the picture to position it correctly. Overcast stitch the beak in place using golden floss. Thread the needle with two strands of black floss. Make the brows by sewing a tiny straight stitch and, if you like, add little eyelashes. Using two strands of dark pink embroidery floss, add a few decorative stitches to the face to suggest feathers. Embroider the feet using two straight stitches and six strands of orange embroidery floss. Overcast stitch the darts on front and back head pieces with two strands of pink floss, making sure to sew them up on the wrong side of the felt. Align the two wing pieces (oats + rose) and sew together with a overcast stitch. Pin or glue the wings in place on the wrong side of the owl back shape. Align the two owl shapes together and thread an embroidery needle with two strands of matching embroidery floss. Stitch the pieces together around the edges using overcast stitch, sewing through all four layers of felt in the wings areas, leaving a gap open. Before ending overcast stitches, push in toy stuffing using a stick and stitch it closed. Knot thread and cut off excess. Fold the right wing and secure it to the face with a straight stitch.

The eyes are made using a few curving backstitches, and the eyelashes with two small straight stitches for each eye. Make the brows by sewing two tiny straight stitches.Embroider the wings with two drops of backstitch along the sides of the body shape. Using two strands of light green embroidery floss, add a few decorative stitches to the belly to suggest feathers. Center the owl beak between the owl eyes. Thread an embroidery needle with one strand of gold embroidery floss and sew around the beak with a small, neat appliqué stitch. Overcast stitch the darts on front and back owl pieces with two strands of sea green floss, making sure to sew them up on the wrong side of the felt. Align the two owl pieces together, right sides out. Thread an embroidery needle with two strands of sea green embroidery floss and sew the two owl pieces together with a overcast stitch. Stop stitching when opening is small enough for stuffing. Fill it with toy stuffing and stitch it closed. Add a bit of color to it cheeks using an artist pastel or powder blush.
