Step 2 Forming the owl shape

Fold each side of the flannel back on itself to form the owl wings. They should look like the picture below.

Step 3 Adding the ribbon

To make your owl washcloth look fancier, you can add some ribbon. I used yellow ribbon as I felt this complimented my green flannel. You can use any colour of ribbon you have.
