Owl Pillow

quilted fabric
black felt or fleece for the eyes
brown or orange felt or fleece for the beak
stuffing

1. Cut an owl shape out of a piece or paper for a template and a circle for the eyes.
2. Double the fabric and cut the owl shape out so you have two, a front and a back. Cut 2 eyes out of a contrasting fabric. I did the front different from the back of the owl and cut a contrasting heart out for the owl's "butt."
3. Glue small black circles with fabric glue onto the eyes, they can be off center. Sew a small "beak" just at the top so it flops. Sew the eyes offcenter onto the front owl over the top of the beak with a 1/4" seam. The edges will puff up and give it dimension.
4. Sew the heart on the back owl with a 1/4" seam.
5. Place the two pieces right sides out and sew around the owl with a 1/4" seam, leaving the bottom open.
6. Stuff the owl as much or little as you'd like.
7. Sew up the bottom with a 1/4" seam.
SO CUTE! This is for my niece but I want one...

Pam, don't look. . .

Scrappy Wreath made with items around the house

Fabric scraps in a few colors
Old wire hanger
Raffia

1. Bend the wire hanger into a circle, it doesn't have to be perfect. The fabric will hide imperfections.
2. Cut or tear the fabric strips about 5 inches by 1/4-1 inch wide. The scrappier the better.
3. Tie each strip on the hanger, knotting once. As you tie on, keep sliding them close together and turning them different ways so it looks less uniform.
4. On the top side tie about 5 strands of raffia into a bow.
