A new Felt Wall Hanging for you all to make - this time we have Owls!
You will need...
An A4 size, rectangle of black felt (or any size or shape, but that is what I used)
Scraps of other colours - for the owls, branches, moon and flowers
Embroidery thread (Use three of the six strands to sew with) and needle
Buttons
Wooden dowel
Ribbon
How to make your Owl Wall Hanging...
Turn over and pin a 2cm hem across the top of your black felt. Using a running stitch, sew the hem down - this is to slip your wooden dowel into.
Cut out your felt owls, branches, flowers and moon - here are the printable patterns...
Turn your black felt backing over and on the other side, stitch your three owls into place.
The easiest way to do this, is to first attach the owl's button eyes. Leave the thread attached at the back of the owl and then stitch it onto the black backing felt, going back through the buttons again.
Place the moon and stitch with blanket stitch (or running stitch will do fine)
Next, take your branches, pin them into position and using a running stitch, attach them to the black backing felt and across the owls, which will hold them and the owls in place.
Sew your buttons onto your flowers and stitch them in place. Attach the three leaves with running stitches.
Slip a wooden dowel (or garden cane does as well) into the upper hem, tie on a ribbon and hang up your Owl Felt Wall Hanging for all to admire...!
Easy to do and a lot of fun. Who doesn't love those big eyes!!
