Really! Again for Swap-Bot I finished these guys today.

They’re not QUITE as classy or well made as the originals which I shall link to later on in this post, but I think they came out pretty cute.  The main bodies are just three pieces, the pointy owl top and the base.

The base, being round, is a touch tricky for people like me. I suggest when you make them (there is no IF you make them, it’s all WHEN. I mean seriously, LOOK at them) you just take it super slow and careful. Unless you’re an amazing sewing person, in which case – bah on you.

I also recommend leaving a much larger gap in the side for turning and stuffing as you need to slip a cardboard base in there. Lots easier without having to fold the card.

Here they are having a little conflab about the future, they are destined to be shipped off to the US tomorrow or Monday for my swap partner.

And here they are rushing off to find their passports and pack their luggage, which consists of a collection of magazines for the plane, and hats in case of hot sun conditions.

Mama has “ordered” two of these for my Aunts birthday, so there’s more to come. Now you’ve seen them and want some for yourself, the best thing to do would be to wander on over to the tutorial and pattern on Lollychops.  It’s possibly the most entertaining tutorial ever.
