A lot of work -- but a cute Owl!

This owl bag was created by the Close To My Heart Art Department. Below you can see just how to make one if you want. Owls are H.O.T. now!
Use your Close To My Heart/Cricut Artiste cartridge. (Buy yours from me if you haven't done so.)
Combine your Cricut^® pieces with unique stamping techniques and you have projects that will knock your socks off!  Here's the recipe. (No, recipes are not JUST for food!)

Art Tip! This project uses many Cricut^® shapes and all the pieces coordinate so nicely for an adorable finished product. Use the Artiste assembly booklet to put the bag together and then add the embellishments. The feathers are created with punched circles that are stamped using the kissing technique; however, if you don’t have the circle punch, you can easily make these using the Cricut as well.

 The eyes were created using Shimmer designer brads, but you can use any large brad or button to create the same look. Finish with the “owl miss you sentiment” for a special touch.

 

You could skip the sewing part if you want and do some punching with the 'pokey thing' or faux stitching. IDK if I am feeling like bringing the sewing machine up myself.

It's really cute. This could be a welcome to the neighborhood if you change up the sentiment.

 

If you make an owl -- please send me a message and a picture. I'd love to see it!
