DIY Scented Owl's aka Stinky Owls!

Posted by   on   / 6 comments 
 While I was sorting out my huge fabric stash I came across two half cut up felted jumpers so decided some little owls (and some other things that will be blogged about soon) should be made!

I made these two a few years ago

A well loved Owl, looking really tatty!
so used the same template I had drawn then and made these little owls.

He looks evil doesn't he...... this one is hidden in the bedroom out of view:)
Since radiator season is in full blast here I  made them into smelly radiator hangers so when the radiator heats up these little owls start to smell. I stuffed one with lavender and the other with stuffing and added a sachet of cloves and a cinnamon stick. I sewed ribbons in the top seam and now they proudly hang from my radiators.


Totally coincidentally they go very well with the decor in my living room:)

    They are so cute (and not at all evil looking!) Love the idea of hanging them off the radiators, will have to try that in the bedroom with my lavender hearts.

    Have a great week, Estelle xx
