Whoo Whoo is knocking at the door?

WE ARE!

They do not officially have names but we shall call them Purple and Orange..so original!  I love owls, that is a fact they are so fun looking and you can really make them look like anything. I saw some stuffed owls on the blog world and etsy.  My kids are really not stuffed animal children, but these are actually funtional!

First; they have a loop on their heads to hang, I hung ours on the kids bedroom doors.  Pink=Livy Orange=PJ.  Like so...

Second; on the back they have a little pocket (made out of canvas so that they are sturdy) either for a note, small toy, or candy.  The possiblities are endless for these little guys.  They are made out of felt. Again, left over from the table top tent (will it ever end-my husband asks daily!)

They hold about a 4x6 index card folded in half.

I love these I might make more for my friends children, its soo nice to see them excited when there is a small somthing for them. Somedays it just says 'I love you'.  And that will just start anyones day right...right?

So I wonder whoo whoo will be knocking at your door?

Happy Monday

An Embellishment (headband) for A

Fun, exciting, embellished headbands are all the rage!  And lets face it have A LOT of felt left over from the felt house project. I would love to be able to wear them, but lets face it I am not really a stylish lady...pretty ordinary.  And I like it!  However, I can live via Alyvia...so she has recieved her very first embellished headband!  Yeah! I think that I was way more excited that she was.  Maybe with time that will change, lets hope so since I had so much fun making this!

Supplies: 12" by 1/2" strips of felt for the big "roll" and then shorten for the smaller ones, hot glue, and a headband.  ~I used one that was not her favorite, I asked first, just incase~

Step 1:

Cute the felt into long small strips-enough for all the "rolls" you want to make.

Step 2: Bend over the edge and hot glue to hold to start the roll, and just roll, pull tight, roll, pull tight...you get the idea there. Once you come to the end add a dab of hot glue to hold the end secure.

Step 3: Pick the color you would like for the back of the head band and glue the rolls together and to the backing.

Step 4: Very tricky=cut out around the rolls to make one large "unit".

Step 5: Place a line of glue along the back of the felt piece and stick the head band on and hold it until its dry. 

Step 6:  Cut a small thin piece of felt to cover the headband piece.

Step 7: Place on your model and admire!

You can find a world of information about headbands on so many blogs, I have a few favorite ones, which I will find tomorrow and link them up!
