Owl messenger bag

First Gather supplies.  Felt for background and eyes.  Material for wings and belly.  Thread and duck tape for eyes and handle if you want to braid a color in. 
Cut out the body.  I googled owl images and found a good owl shape that i liked.  Obviously not a real owl but more like a cartoon owl.  Then cut out the rest of the parts.  Eye outline wings and belly.  I made the actual eyes out of a teal duck tape that i just happen to have that matched my material.  You could just use a regular material for this part. 

Next pin each piece where you want it and do a large zig zag stick around all pieces.  Remember to only do them onto one layer of the felt. 

Last i added the wings and went around with zig zag stick.

Lastly i put the back side of the owl with the front side and zig zagged around the owl starting at one ear and ending up at the other ear.  I cut strips of felt and braded them together for the strap.  I seewed the straps on to the back of the bag at the ears.  That's it.  You are now complete:)
