STEP 2: Cut two circles from white felt, two smaller circles from black felt, and a triangle from yellow felt. I traced a tape measure and the end of a spool of thread for mine so I’d get even looking circles.
STEP 3: Sew black circles in the centers of the white circles. You can do this by hand or by machine, or if you prefer, you can use craft glue instead. I like to sew them so they hold up better and won’t be a choking hazard for infants.
STEP 4: Position eyes and beak on the right side of one of the fabric pieces. Pin in place, then sew. Again, you can use the machine or do it by hand; up to you. Mine is done on the machine. This is the most tedious part, but it’s well worth the effort.
STEP 5: Pin fabric pieces together with right sides in and sew around the edges, leaving about 2 inches at the bottom unstitched. Clip your corners.
STEP 6: Turn right side out.
STEP 7: Stuff with polyfil {LC helped with that part} and hand stitch the opening at the bottom closed.
PS- The fabric in the background is what I used for my new valances in the master bedroom…likey?
Happy Crafting!

Owlbert is adorable! Owls seem to be quite popular- I think you should definitely be selling them. One of my first projects for my blog was Christmas stockings from an owl print fabric last year.

My little “LC” still loves his Owlbert :). I looked this up because I’m going to follow this guide to make Owlbert bean bags for his birthday party coming up! Thanks for inspiring me to become one artsy mama too, and for helping me get started. Can’t wait for our craft date in a couple weeks :).
