Owl iPhone Cozy

A friend of mine bought a crochet owl cell phone cozy and I liked it so much I decided to crochet my own.

This is what my Owl iPhone Cozy looks like.

This is the Owl cell phone cozy my friend bought.

I started by just making a chain that is the same size as the bottom of my iPhone.

Then I started to go around the chain with single crochet to make a basket like nest for my phone to fit.

And then I just kept going around and making sure the phone fits and it's not too tight.

I wanted my button to be a little lower then the one my friend bought so I extended the back flap a little.

I crochet the eyes as just a round circle that one begins for hats or amigurumi animals. And the beak I made of thin yarn like one for cross stitching. I just crochet a little square with the smallest hook I had and stuffed it behind the eyes to sew it on.

Wings I made by making a small chain I think of 6 sc st or so and then adding 2 st each row for 2 more rows.

And then final addition is scavenging for a prominent button for the back.

Coffee Filter Foof

I follow this wonderful blog by Emily called Jones Design Company, where I came across this neatto tutorial that I wanted to try. 

Here's the link to the tutorial.

 So I followed the tutorial and here's what it looks like.

It looks very fancy hanging off the ceiling but I think I need two more of different sizes to make it look how I want.

This is what it looked like half way done.

Half way done up close.

I secured the ribbon with two pins and put a spot of hot glue under it as well.

Just trying for a different angle in this one :D
