STEP 1
Cutting fabric
Work out how many owls you would like and according to this number cut pairs of fabric, making a slit in one of every pair at the indicated position
Using manufacturer’s instructions attach fusible web to fabric reserved for the tummy piece (amount of fabric depending on how many owls you want to make). Cut one belly piece for each owl
STEP 2
Sewing owls together
Place two pieces of the owl body right sides together, making sure one of these pieces has the slit in the body. Sew together, trim corners and turn inside out through slit. Press flat.
STEP 3
Owl tummy’s
Peel the backing paper off the tummy fabric pieces and place in position on the owl body. Iron pieces together to affix. You can stitch this down if you like.
STEP 4
Making the owl’s face
Fold point down the belly to just above half way and stitch in place. This is the beak.
Now stitch on two buttons either side of the beak.
STEP 5
Making the bunting
Arrange in the order you would like them to be displayed and affix the iron on letters (or stamp your own) onto the tummy of the owl.
Thread onto the ribbon, yarn or twine just under the beak and hang!
