How to sew an owl pillow master class

You can sew such cute owl pillows with your own hands. Be patient and after two hours you will be able to fall asleep hugging the symbol of wisdom.

For the pattern, you will need paper (you can use old newspapers), scissors, a pencil, your imagination. On one sheet of paper, draw a torso with pointed ears, cut out a template. The pattern should look like the photo above.

On the second sheet of paper, draw additional elements - a wing, a beak, two circles for the eyes, a large and a smaller one.

We cut out our blanks.

The owl's eyes are large, should occupy about a third of the body. We recommend making the large circle white, then they will stand out favorably on any color of the body.

The colors of the fabric for the body and additional elements should be different, but the same tone. There is no need to make a red owl with green wings - this combination will not give originality, although the choice of colors is exclusively your prerogative.

Now we take a paper pattern of the body, apply it to the fabric folded in half, fix it with pins in order to avoid displacement, cut it along the contour.

We do the same with the wings, beak, eyes.

We put the blanks together. If you notice inaccuracies, then at this stage it is much easier to fix than after flashing.

We fasten the small and large circle with pins as shown above.

Can be sewn with a typewriter or stitched with floss, as shown in the picture.

In the same way, we sew the remaining elements - wings and nose.

The front side of the pillow will look like this. For practicality of the pillow, you can add a pocket on the front or back.

When the muzzle is ready, you can start sewing on the back. To do this, we fold both blanks with the front sides inward. Sew the blanks, remembering to leave a small hole in the bottom of the owl.

Turn the finished product inside out and fill with filler. Next, you need to carefully sew the owl with your own hands. To avoid being noticeable, use a blind seam.

The original owl will now live on your couch. So that she doesn't get bored, sew friends for her using the same technique, but from a different color of fabrics.

Sewing soft toys always fascinates craftswomen and novice needlewomen. For example, owls are very fashionable lately. There are different patterns of felt and other fabrics. You can even sew a plush product on a natural scale or a beautiful wall panel. Small hand-sewn keychains or toys in the style of a Tilda doll look very original.

Assembling parts

We begin to assemble the product by sewing on the tummy. We fix it to the front of the toy fine hand stitch "forward-needle"... Then, with a similar stitch, we sew on the base for the eyes, which looks like a recumbent figure eight.

If the eyes are sewn in the form of beads in the center, then the pupils should be sewn on first, and only then we sew the peephole into place in the figure eight. If the eyes are glued, then first we sew on the part of the eye and then glue the eyes or pupils on top.

Without changing the seam technique, we sew in its place the beak, which is located exactly in the middle. At this stage, the front of the product is completed.

Then put the front and back together. To prevent them from shifting, we pin them with pins. Now we sew these two parts with a loop overlock stitch using suitable or contrasting threads. If you need to add volume, then through an unsewn hole fill the animal with filler... When the product is full, we sew up the hole. After filling, you can sew on the paws of the bird.

The final step is to sew on the wings. The section for sewing on the wings can be decorated with beads. For a cute look, you can sew a felt flower on the ear.

Stages of sewing a pillow

How to sew an owl-shaped toy pillow:

1. The sizes are selected arbitrarily depending on what size the pillow will be. But the pattern can also be printed from the Internet if there is no time to draw it.
2. Next, cut out all the template elements... First, we transfer the body part. To do this, take the material and fold it twice, then fold the already folded fabric again. Now we pin the owl's body template to the fold of the fabric and draw the outline of the template with a pencil. In this case, be sure to leave allowances for the seams. Now we cut out.
3. Then we unfold the cut parts. and stack them with their front parts on top of each other. As a result, the seamy parts look up, and the front ones turn out to be from the inside.
4. Fix the part of the tummy with pins to the fabric folded in half, outline and cut out.
5. We fix the tissue part of the tummy with pins to the torso to the front of the outside right in the middle.
6. If the product is sewn by hand, then we sew the tummy to the calf. If the pillow is made on a sewing machine, then with a simple zig-zag stitch we sew the middle onto the upper fabric of the product.
7. After that take templates for the inner ear and transfer the pattern to a material of a different shade. Only in this case we cut out the parts without allowances.
8. Next step: pin the ears into place with pins and leave it that way for now.
9. We take a material of a different shade and cut out the largest eye detail from it. The middle part of the peephole is cut out of a fabric of a suitable color. The smallest part of the eye - the pupil - is made from a third color fabric.
10. Made of matching fabric cut out the beak.
11. Now pin all the details of the face with pins in their places so that in the future they do not slide.
12. Further, from a fabric of a different shade we cut out the details of the wings in the amount of two pieces. We also fix them with pins.
13. When all the details have already been fixed, sewn with a zig-zag stitch all these elements are to the calf.
14. Then we turn the body with the sewn details inside, and the wrong side up, we also put the second part of the body with the front side inward, that is, the two parts are located with the front side to each other. We sew these details along the contour, but leave a small area below to turn the product out.
15. In places where there are corners, we make cuts without reaching the stitched seam. Now, through the left area, we turn out the future pillow and straighten all the seams. Do not sew up the hole yet.
16. We transfer the four parts of the legs to the fabric. To do this, fold the material in half and pin it to the material with pins. Next, draw out the contours of the template with a pencil and cut them along the drawn lines, not forgetting about the allowances.
17. It turned out four parts from fabric... We fold the two parts right side to each other and sew on the seamy side, leaving an area for turning out. We do the same with the second foot. We turn both legs onto the front part.
18. We fill the paws and pillow with filler: evenly, filling all corners of the product. For convenience, you can use a stick to push through the filler.
19. We bend the fabric on the body and paws with cuts inward and fix with pins. Sew up bent sections and open sections with a blind stitch.
20. At the last stage we sew the legs to the pillow.

Original and cheerful pillows are a fashionable and stylish interior detail. Textile or made of fur, these toy pillows will appeal to both adults and children.

A beautiful and beloved craft - an owl. Let's look at what you can make an owl at home.

Luxurious bird ideas in different techniques:

• leaf applique;
• from felt or various fabrics;
• made of paper and cardboard;
• from wood and cones;
• from tiles and buttons, etc.

Bark owl

You can collect pieces of different bark, which need to be given an approximate oval shape, and ears at the top.

Owl eyes are large, acorn caps look great. We glue them in the upper part of the body (head). You can use large buttons, small branch cuts and other round objects for the eyes.

For the spout, a white squash seed, round up, is perfect.

If the wings are made of leaves (colored paper), then the scoop will look different.

Cone owl

Crafts made from spruce, pine or cedar cones look very beautiful. It is desirable to eat a large cone (body) and a smaller pine cone (head).

Detailed instructions on how to easily make an owl at home:

• First you need to glue a small bump onto a large one. Plasticine is suitable for this, you can use a glue gun. If it didn't work out very neatly, don't worry, big eyes will close the errors.
• We make legs from dried bean pods. We also glue them with plasticine (glue gun).
• The sides of the scoop should be cut with a small knife, removed from the left / right or moved apart. In the resulting gap, you need to insert a bunch of thin twigs from a birch or other tree. Get the wings.
• Great eyes will come out of tufts of straw (hairs from any ears). Collect them in a bun and tie them in the middle with a thread. Then fluff in a circle for a fluffy rim. To keep the bundle better, we fix the button with glue in the center - there will be a bird's eye.

A large voluminous owl is an excellent decoration for a child's room.

Quilling owl

An elegant craft will turn out using the quilling technique (thin strips of paper). The strips need to be twisted, having received twists - modules, symmetrical on 2 sides. The twists are made in different sizes and give the desired shape, from which, like puzzles, we put a bird.

Sequence of work:

• White curled paper body in the shape of a large oval. On this base we will glue other twists - eyes, eyebrows, nose, wings and legs of an owl.
• Eyes. We wrap a thin rod with strips of black paper. On top of these twists we wind white stripes, then blue ones. This is how voluminous 3-colored eyes are obtained.
• Brows. On top of the huge twists-eyes with glue, long wave-shaped modules, slightly bent upwards.
• The nose is a small twist.
• The wings are dense twists in the form of a drop, stretched downward, they reach the legs.
• The craft is ready.

Owl from a plastic bottle

For work, you need a large dark bottle (1.5-2 liters of kvass), a brush and paints: white, light brown, yellow and black.

Stages of work:

• Cover the bottle upside down with black - it will become a good background.
• We draw large owl's eyes: the largest circle is white, inside the smaller circle is yellow, as in the diagram.
• The yellow nose is a small diamond between the eyes.
• We paint the body with white paint, but it's better to bring your own creativity. For example, a twig in its beak, feathers or light brown stripes on the sides, etc.

Owl - Button Mosaic

Children adore mosaics; for this craft you will need multi-colored buttons and beads.

You can draw the outlines of an owl on paper. Then use it to select symmetrically colored buttons of the same size.

If it turns out beautifully, you need to photograph the application, then repeat from the photo with glue.

Note!

You can fold the contour with buttons, and inside with beads, so it will cost less.

Now buttons are expensive, they are easy to order on the cheap Ali-express website (China).

Owl-cover made of felt

If there are pieces of felt, you can make a keychain. Let's see how best to make an owl. Step-by-step master class for children:

• In the shape of an oval with ears, cut 2 pieces of felt, carefully sew along the edges with threads. The color can be pink, blue, etc.
• Cut a circle out of a fabric of a different color, then sew to our workpiece, slightly shifting it down.
• Sew the eyes from 2 white circles, draw eyes on them (you can close them with large cilia).
• Between the eyes, glue a black triangle-nose.
• Above the eyes, it is better to make a semicircle with ears, where to sew the tape (white, blue), passing through a metal key ring.

Co-creation with children is useful and fun. We offer many photos of owl ideas for making at home from scrap materials.

Note!

For lovers of making crafts, you can offer the actual idea of ​​making an owl from scrap materials. Such a thing can decorate any interior, and for elementary school children it will be a good craft for a labor lesson.

Materials and manufacturing techniques

Every child should know what an owl can be made of. We list some materials, but with enough imagination, this list can be expanded:

• Natural materials;
• Two-dimensional owl made of leaves;
• Fabric and felt;
• Paper and cardboard applications;
• Tiles and buttons.

Owl made of wooden parts

A beautiful craft of an owl can be obtained by using cuts of thin and large branches. With a saw and the required amount of wood, many cuts can be made. For the base, a thin saw cut of a large log is taken, and small saw cuts of branches are used as feathers.

For the eyes and wings, larger wood cuts are made. Bumps or bark can also become elements of the wings. The workpieces are brought to the required size using scissors.

Do not be discouraged in the absence of large sections. You can use smaller slices, and then, you can get a small owl. You can make a little more such products.

On a tree saw cut, you can draw plumage using felt-tip pens, or iodine. And glue the buttons as eyes. A burning apparatus is also useful, and the plasticine from which the legs are made.

A tall tree trunk is suitable for the torso, and a wooden cut for the head. Large eyes from cuts, and a small bump for the nose will do. Ears are made from thin twigs (twigs). Small feathers are also glued to them.

Bark craft

Let's take a look at how to make a simple owl for kids. In this case, a large piece of bark will do. It is processed so that the workpiece takes on an oval shape. If possible, make two ear contours on the crown of the head.

The acorn caps will look original as eyes. Large cuts of twigs, buttons, large apple dryers are also suitable. The wings are cut in the form of a sheet of fabric or cardboard. Autumn leaves are best.

Owl in the form of a wreath

The owl, made in the form of a large wreath, represents a good autumn arrangement. In the process of creativity, not only natural materials will be used, but also parts of cardboard.

Making an owl with your own hands at home will begin by cutting an oval ring of thick cardboard. For the craft, it will be the base on which you need to apply the glue. Next, having collected the material at hand, you should glue it to the cut out oval.

Chips, small twigs, pieces of bark can go into business. Eyes can be made from circles of colored cardboard, preferably using bright colors. Paws, wings and beak are also made from it.

For eyes, circles cut from fabric in the form of flowers are suitable. And make the wings from leaves of autumn oak. If there are no suitable leaves at hand, then they are cut out of cardboard or fabric.

Dry grass, leaves, and even flowers can be used. An oval cardboard circle can be made without a slot inside. Then the center is sealed with any material at hand. Such a craft for the school will be a good decoration at the exhibition.

Pine cone owl

The variety of buds inspires craft projects. Consider a master class on how to make an owl craft from a cone. The larger it is, the better. Ideally, take cedar, but it is extremely rare. Therefore, we take a large spruce and pine cone.

As a bonding material, glue or plasticine is suitable. Since the spruce cone is longer, it will become the body, and the pine cone will be glued for the head.

The two elements are fastened together at an angle. Dry bean pods will become paws, they are fixed with glue or plasticine. To make the wings, you need to make side cuts with a knife in the spruce body. Pull out a few scales, and place a small bunch of thin twigs in this place. This element is attached with glue.

We will make our eyes from a small bunch of hay. It is tied in the middle and fluffed on one side. The result should be an even fluffy circle. Also for the eyes, you can take small straw, dry corn silk, barley hairs. The finished elements are glued together, and buttons are fixed in their center.

For the eyes, slits are made in the bump. They are inserted together with several thin branches so that they serve as cilia, and they are glued. The same is done for the legs, but they are made only from dry branches. The composition is ready, in the photo of the owl crafts, a very attractive product turned out.

Craft for children

A homemade cone has a different design complexity, but the process is fun, so even children will be interested. For them, there are crafts a little easier to make. For example, only one bump is used as the body and head.

Make cardboard eyes, and the beak from dried orange peel. It can be glued for the wings. Ears of an owlet from leaves, and put a piece of moss on its head. The product is almost ready, it remains to plant it in a clearing of moss. The little owlet is ready!

Finding detailed instructions on how to make an owl will not work. The creative process is always unique, and there are many varieties of crafts. You need to have good imagination and creative qualities, and then it will turn out to make a variety of products.
