Octo Owl Placemat


"Whooo looks at an octagon and sees an owl? Apparently, I do, and now you will too! This owl placemat is a fairly easy project. I did try a new-to-me method for applique to add the face. I let you know how it went for me, but if you have a favorite method you’d rather use, go for it. Once it’s complete, use the owl’s wings to wrap around your silverware or a napkin, which you’ve made to match, of course!"
