Cute Owl Frame: Video Tutorial

Hi Friends,

I posted this owl frame in a post right before this post.

I had a friend ask me how I made it so I decided to do a video. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Cute Owl Frame

Hey Friends,

 

Who doesn't love Home Décor?  This frame is simply adorable.  Would be so stinking cute in a little girls room or even a Shower Gift for an expectant mother.  Neither of which I have.  lol  

I enjoyed making this frame non-the-less. 

I suppose I could maybe send it to one of my nieces?  We will see...

Little details: 

1.  The feathers were made from a circle scalloped punch. 

2.  The owl pattern was drawn out and cut with scissors. 

3.  I inked around the edges to soften it up a bit. 

4.  Used buttons as the eyes. 

5.  The frame is a 8 x 8 frame from Michaels and I used paper inside. 

6.  I sewn around the grey mat to add a little more detail to the framed picture. 

7.  The owl was adhered using foam dots for the depth.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you have a great week-end.

 

You're a Hoot

Hey there Friends,

 

I'm back again today to share with you a Tag I made using the K & Company "Handmade" collection. 

 

The Tag Base:

I cut out a tag with Craft Cardstock with my paper cutter.  Took the pattern paper from the K & Company "Handmade" collection and cut it out to fit the tag using my paper cutter & scissors to cut the angles.  On each side of the pattern paper is a strip of ribbon tucked under the paper onto the craft cardstock.  (the ribbon is from my personal stash)

 

The Embellishments:

I used the owls from the embellishment pack and used pop dots to add dimension to the tag.  I printed out "You're a Hoot" from my computer onto white cardstock.  I cut out with my scissors and inked around the edges with brown ink.  With a hole punch, I punched out a hole and laced some Shabby Chic Crinkled ribbon through the hole.  I made the ribbon long enough to tie onto a bag or present. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)

My Fall Owls

Hey Friends,

The count down to Halloween is on.  :)  I love decorating my home for Halloween.  I do have a tendency to go more Fall related than spooky related, just so that I can leave my stuff out until Thanksgiving.  

I have a new addition to my collection this year, and it is my FALL OWLS.  They are just so cute!  Owls are a Favorite of mine.  You will see them more and more in my home decor.  I can't even pass up a cute stamp set or scrapbooking paper/embellishments that has a cute owl on it. 

I apologize that I didn't think about taking a picture of just the fabric before I started sewing.  If you notice on the owl on the right I had already started sewing it.  

I got the kit from Spark your Fall, by Margie Romney-Aslett.  You can visit Margie's blog by clicking HERE and Spark your Events by clicking HERE.  

 The fabric and all the pieces came already cut and she emailed me the instructions and pictures.  

 I do not, by any means, consider myself an expert at sewing.  I have gone off track on my zig zag stitching a few times and to fix it, I just picked my foot up on my my sewing machine and put myself back on track. I feel as though it adds character to my owls. More of a "Shabby Chic" look.  :)  (Yes!! I am trying to redeem my imperfect sewing skills.)

The container of rice is to put about a cup in a zip lock bag to put in the bottom of the owl so it can stand up on its own.  

This is the front and back of the owl.  Please ignore my messy desk.  I don't know about you, but I love Chevrons. 

 This is a picture of both of the owls together.  I am so happy with the way that they have turned out. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope these owls inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. 

Have a Spook-tac-ular Week!  :)
