How to Make a Scrappy Fall Owl Pillow

First, download the Free Scrappy Owl Pattern here and cut out the pattern pieces needed. Fabric for the Owl body and belly. Felt for the beak.

Use the pattern and cut out all of the owl pieces. Fabric for the body and belly. Felt for the beak.

Now make small slits (about 1/4-inch) around the outer edge of the fabric for the belly and iron the edges under about 1/4 inch. This will give you a finished edge.
