This homemade owl beanie is so cute, I had to share. Not only is it a simple sewing project, similar to the make a baby hat out of a tshirt post I did a few years ago, but the whole Owl in a Tree is a clever mom and baby costume idea. The mom behind this project is the author of the blog Humpty Was Pushed.
She provides step-by-step instructions in her post.
While she sews her owl eyes and nose to the hat, you could just as easily cut them from felt and glue them if they are just for one or two wearings.
Now that I know how to make a baby hat out of a tshirt, I have a hard time getting rid of any tshirts that have their hems intact. I see each of them as potential beanies!
Sewing not your thing? Buy one of these
What an adorable idea, and so crafty!
this is the best thing ever.
What a cute idea!!
Ok, so here’s what I did for my one year old…combined this adorable hat idea with the owl shirt (put the “feathers” of fabric on a once) and it is the cutest owl costume for a toddler! Thanks for the fantastic ideas!
Awesome Post.Baby looks very sweet in this costume.

Hi Whitney,
Thanks for this awesome article ! the third picture is really cute..
Thanks to Whitney, we had this costume last year and dressed Sawyer as an owl. Alec and I wore bands of leaves around our heads and dressed in solid colors as trees. Big brother Milo was a monkey so he also was allowed in our tree.
This is so cute, such a good idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is what my little guy and I were last year!!!!!
