Liz makes an owl magnet

Today I made this cute little felt owl. I glued an old magnet I got from my chiropractor on the back and slapped it on my fridge. It's the perfect addition to my kitchen. I love it! Here's how I did it:

You're going to need this pattern, different colors of felt (I used four), scissors, tacky glue, a hot glue gun and a magnet. I made this pattern, so you can just print it and cut it out as you wish. You'll need to cut two of the little circles and cut those circles in half, because you'll be using different colors for each half.

Pin the pattern to the felt and cut it. Notice how I used dark grey for the back, light grey for the front, black and white for the eyes and white for the beak. I liked this color scheme, and if I were to make another, I'd like to use same-like colors, like light blues and dark blues, light greens with dark greens, etc.

Glue all of the pieces together with tacky glue. Grab your magnet. Like I said earlier, I used a thin one I had gotten for free, so this project was really inexpensive to make. 

Next you need to cut your magnet to fit the owl. Grab your hot glue gun and glue that baby on. Let it cool, and then you can slap it on your fridge. This would also look great on a chalkboard.

All finished. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Have a great weekend. I know I will!

Love, Liz
