This is how I made mine..
These pictures are quite self explanitory.....
The only thing when stitching is to make sure the point where the stiches meet is neat.. this folds over to form his nose.
Place a pin accross and stuff firmly
Fold over and hold with a few stitches..
Cut some felt circles and add sequins and beads for eyes
Stich on his bottom!.... cute! You can change the size and shape by making the 'cone' shorter, longer, wider or narrower... experiment!.. if you make one leave a link so I can come and see!

You are absolutely brilliant, I love these
Terrific, love them. Annette x
OMG, these owls are priceless. I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog for the USAQ blog, but I am just so thankful for meeting so many new and kindred artists. I will be following your blog. I do not sew, but my hubby does!!!
Thank you.
I knew you didn't need to take my owl apart. These are so adorable and you're so clever. Glue and stick project maybe?
These are just SO cute!

Adorable! I love the little fat on in the foreground and I hope you gave them some sort of anaesthetic (or at least a stiff G&T) before stitching their bottoms!
Brilliant!!! I just bought one the other week which is almost the same and it has a jump ring on the bottom with a couple of bells hanging of it for his feet...these knock the spots off mine though.. loving those colours x
Wow! I think I have found a use for my fabric stash. Thank you so so much for this! xx
These are sooo cute, really fab :)

These are so cute. You are so talented to figure out the design yourself. Imagine, your friend not allowing you to take it apart. How silly of her--LOL.
How gorgeous! I must make one!
OMG HOW cute??!!! Love them :).
Now those are seriously cute. I adore those colours you've used - I think we must like similar things. Now don't let me forget, when I'm settled I've got to make me an owl. :D
you are a natural when it comes to sewing Effie! great job on the owls. I think the idea was posted by Lolly over at Lollychops a year or so ago. yours look great!
Super little owls, great idea and super work !
absolute gorgeous, will have to find my fabric :)
really cute - hope to have a go sometime soon - thanks for showing
Hi Efemera
Love your owls. I bough apattern on Etsy to make these.
Yours turned out much better than mine.

But my dexterity is terrible so hand sewing isn't really a starter for me. Love your owls though.
Best wishes
Billie :)

Here's the results.

Here's my attempt at an owl... a little wonky... not sure I got the base right :S
My owl's eyes are buttons not felt.. but I like it.

Saw this on Kimba's Shout outs - cute! I made one up this afternoon. No pic yet - I need to do another with the eyes not overlapping his nose.
So nice of you to share this with us! I especially like the stout, pudgy owl. Oh, and your fabrics are so lovely and fall-ish!
This is so cute. How would you turn it into a penguin? My teenage son loves penguins! I'm sure there is a way, I just cannot figure it out. Thanks for your help!!!
Very cute - think I'll try to make a few as pin cushions for gifts!
Love love love these owls! I can't figure out the ring for the bottom though, how do you make and attach it?
I discovered this tutorial on Pinterest last week. I'm doing a blog post about them tomorrow (11/8/11). Thank you for figuring out how to make them. They're adorable!
Verry lovely, thanks.

These are so cute!! Thanks for sharing your pattern
So cute!! I would have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
These little owls are so cute! My kids' school mascot is an owl, so I think I'll make one of these for each of their teachers as an end-of-the-year gift. :)

So, SO adorable! The jewel tone color fabric is beautiful! I recognize the twiggy fabric, but what is the plum polka dot fabric? It's so gorgeous!!
Спасибо!!! Очень полезная информация. Люблю ваших сов.
Those are so cute!! And I love the fabric/color combinations. I think I feel a trip to the scrap bag coming on... :-)
