For work you will need:
- felt (4-5 colors);
- scissors;
- needle and thread;

- The first step in creating an owl from felt will be a pattern. Orient the size of the figure, and repeat on the paper outlines. The result is two parts of the body of an owl, two eyes, two pupils, a beak, wings and feathers.
- Cut out all the elements from the felt of different colors, attach a nose and eyes to the body of the owl, in order to imagine the muzzle. We fix the beak, we sew the pupils to the round eyes and also fix it on the body.
- Now we have the feathers of the owl, starting from the bottom, fixing for the beginning with sewing pins. The strips overlap will create an interesting relief.
- Now with vertical stitches we sew feathers to the tummy. Owl made of felt, made by hand, will be more interesting if you use multi-colored thread for stitches, which will be noticeable.
- We fix the wings of the owl with pins, then sew them on the inner contour.
- Now we sew our eyes with noticeable stitches in a circle.

For example, if a toy from a felt - owl is intended for a child, you can fill it with cereals that will be useful for the development of fine motor skills.
