Hanging Owlies *upcycled Toms shoe inserts*

I absolutely love owls! I love them so much that my hubby is letting me decorate/theme the apartment with different types of owls! We don't have much, but what we do have to far is:


Hedwig, my Build-a-Bear owl...That's right I'm a big Harry Potter fan.


Macrame Owls I made



and....!



Awesome Owls shower curtain and hooks from Target

We got me a pair of Toms Shoes for when I start school, and when I saw the inserts I thought they seemed a bit owlish, so I decided to upcycle them into Owl wall hangers, and that is what I was working on today.


Before...



After!

Now that I have that project finished, I'm starting an owl filet crochet pillow, using white crochet thread and blue cotton fabric. My goal is to make different styles of pillows for each month to go on the couch. Let's see how that goes. Time to get hooking, I mean crocheting!
