DIY Snuggly Owl Pillow

Need to get a gift for a toddler?  Why not make this adorably snuggly owl pillow?  I made this one for my boyfriend's niece's first birthday.  The materials cost me about $25 and it took me about 2 hours to complete.  I used fleece so it's super soft.  The only thing I changed from the pattern is that I used buttons for the blacks of the eyes instead of sewing on a black circle.  For those who want to keep their costs down (who doesn't?), one thing I found was that it was much cheaper to buy a pillow and cut it open to get the polyester stuffing than to buy a bag of stuffing at the fabric store.  You can find the great free pattern and instructions here to make a snuggly owl of your very own.
