Owl Purse

 This was an idea I came up with after a slow day at work.
The first picture is of a small felt purse, it's very simple to make by following the instructions.

1. Cut  a piece of light brown felt and a piece of dark brown felt in half, then cut about a third from each of these halves.
2. Cut each piece into a point at one end (2/5ths of the way down)
3. Add a press stud fastener to the two points (you can just see this as a small circle on the beak).
4. Sew the pale brown felt down to the body to create the base for the beak.
5. Put the two pieces of felt together, with the sewn beak on the inside. Now sew the two pieces of felt together at the two sides and the bottom, leaving the top 'flap' loose.
6. Finally turn the whole thing the right way round and sew on the eye buttons.

The second picture is a stuffed toy made in the same way as the purse only skip stages 3 and 4. Instead after sewing the body together stuff with wadding and sew across the top. Finally sew the beak down and sew the eyes on.
