Steps:
STEP 1: Cover Styrofoam ball with MC-1 and needle felt to Styrofoam ball.
Needle felt white MC-1 onto ball for eyes, insert pupils. Using yellow MC-1
felt a beak and attach to ball.
STEP 2: Needle felt wings and add the breast and wings to the owl.
STEP 3: Make a Merino Top thread by pulling a small piece and rolling it
between your hands (you may need to wet your hands a little).
Outline the eyes and make waves in the breast and on the wings to give the
appearance of feathers.
STEP 4: Needle felt ears in a triangle leaving the end that will attach
to the body raw. Attach the ears to the body of the owl.

STEP 5: Needle felt two green leaves and three small red balls for berries
and attach to the owl’s ear.
STEP 6: Cut approximately 30 inches of fishing line. Fold the fishing
line in half. At the bottom of the fishing line (at the fold) tie several
knots. String a large bead and three small beads through both
strands of the fishing line.
STEP 7: Thread a large needle with the fishing line. Starting from the
bottom of the owl insert the needle and pull the fishing line through to the
top of the owl.
STEP 8: Thread three small beads, one large bead and the offsetting
bead.
STEP 9: Split the fishing line and begin threading beads on each single
fishing line. Once you obtain the desired length, tie several knots and cut
remaining fishing line.
STEP 10: At the bottom of the owl cut the excess fishing line and
place a small dot of glue to hold the beads in place.
