Necessary materials
Of course, a variety of materials are used to obtain the product. It can be hard paper, thick fabric or knitted fabric. But let's look at what it takes to make a small felt owl. Trim remaining after sewing other products will be used. Take a felt of several colors, semi-rigid or soft in its structure. Surely contrasting in tone and fairly strong threads will be required. Best for sewing fit floss. When thinking up a model, take care of such very useful finishing accessories as “live” plastic eyes. Such things, having an original design with internal freely moving parts, will help to become a product especially attractive. In addition to all of the above, do not forget about the internal filler. In the absence of special materials, for example, synthetic winterizer, you can cut old small knitted items into small pieces.
Stages of cutting owls from felt
If you do not have the required sample, you can draw the blank yourself. To do this, first try to depict on paper a general view of the souvenir with all the details as it will look ready-made. Then move separately additional finishing preparations - wings, head, beak, etc. Usually there is a small size owl made of felt. A pattern of all the details for this reason can easily fit on a pair of sheets of a school notebook. You can copy an image directly from a computer monitor by printing it to a printer. If necessary, change the scale of the pattern. When cutting, apply the details of the patterns to the felt and trace a piece of soap or a simple pencil. Additional seam allowances are not necessary.
Manufacture
It is advisable to cut the felt owl blanks with sharp scissors. After all, when all parts are connected, the edge will not be processed, that is, no bending of the material is required. The seam goes directly along the very edge, capturing with stitches no more than 0.5 cm. First we connect the details of the body. Through a small hole we fill the product with light material. After that, we form wings, which we similarly make voluminous. You can simulate plumage by making parallel strips of stitches on them with contrasting threads. Then, prepared eyes in the form of a three-layer structure with a bright button in the center are mounted on the body. In conclusion, we decorate the owl with a beak and decoration accessories in the form of hearts, flowers or other funny ornaments. When using an owl as a keychain, be sure to attach a loop between the ears. Or you can stick a long wooden stick to the bottom of the craft for installation in a flower pot. A wonderful souvenir is ready!
