This was probably the most rewarding workshop of 2011! Our inspiration for this Owl Family Workshop was found on Etsy.com under the person woolcrazy. She made a wreath similar to this from the beautiful art form of needle felting wool. Everything on her  wreath was made with wool. We made our embellishments on the wreath from sewing felt and fabrics to form the owls, flowers, and pumpkins. We designed each owl to be a little different just like people. Our owls were done to represent snow owls, baby owls, grey owls, and brown owls. Some had wings, and some had feet.

First you cut out and design your owls. Lots of hand sewing was done for this project!

Once your owl top is embellished sew the front to back pretty sides together leaving an opening for turning. Sew, turn, stuff, and sew opening closed.

Here's a close-up of Nicole's cute little owl with feet.

Here's some of our little pumpkins! These were made from fabric rosettes that you stuff to make them pumpkins.

Here's all our wreaths with the green moss and flowers added. The owls, pumpkins, and flowers were added last.
