Eyes

Form ring

8 sc in center. Fasten off, weave in ends.

*Sew on beads to the center of each eye.

Finishing and Assembly

*For the tassels on the top of the body I took a singe piece of yarn and threaded it around a stitch.  I tied a couple knots to secure it there then trimmed the pieces of yarn.

*For the fabric center, free hand cut your shape to fit the body how you like.  Use your needle and thread to sew it onto the front of the owl's body.

*Attach the bottom piece to the body with your thread and needle.  When you get about 3/4 of the way around stuff your owl and finish sewing.

*Cut a small triangle shape from your yellow felt and hot glue over your fabric at the top of the body. 

*Hot glue your eyes on just above the beak.

Wooooo HOOOOO you're done!

I hope if you can crochet you like the pattern.  Remember I am no pro and I don't know the exact way to write a pattern.  I hope it all makes sense and there are no errors.

Have a wonderful weekend!
