You'll need:
- beads
- felt (optional)
- needle & thread
- tshirt or sweater
Tip: If you are in the US, AC Moore and Michael's tend to have 40% and 50% off coupons so try to find one online before you go, it will save you lots of money in the end. I luckily went during a bead sale so they were all 50% off.
3. Lay out your beads to see how you want to place them. Take a picture so you don't forget. You may change things as you progress (like I did), but it's good to have a basic idea.
4. Begin sewing. I suggest working from the outside in. I started with the face, then his stomach and finally moved on to his ,wings at which point I realized I wouldn't be able to bead around his ears because there wasn't enough space to sew it on the shirt after.
5. Sew your owl onto your shirt! (unless you sewed the beads directly on your shirt...) And then you're done!
You really put a ton of work into that - it came out great!
