This owl is a small pillow to put under your wrist when
working with the mouse on your computer. It prevents your
wrist from rubbing over the desk the whole day. And it looks also funny on your desk! You can make it within 30 min.
No sewing machine required!
Materials
- 2 pieces of cotton for the back and front: 14x19 cm
- Little felt pieces for the eyes and nose: 2 circles (light color): 2.5cm diameter, 2 circles (dark color): 1.5cm diameter, 1 triangular piece
- Bright colored thread, 30 cm
- Filling
Method
1. Cut out the back and front
piece for the owl. I used 2 different prints
for the front and back piece so it looks more playful. Cut out 4 circles for
the eyes and a triangular piece for the nose.
2. Stitch the 2 big circles and the nose on the
front piece.
3. Stitch the 2 small circles on top of the big
ones. I used a distinctive thread colour for stitching on the small circles so
the eyes look more bright!
4. Place the back piece onto the front piece with the
right sides facing each other. Stitch them together and leave 5cm gap at the
bottom.
5. Fold the owl inside out and stuff it with the
filling. Close the 5 cm gap at the bottom. You are done!

I currently have wrist pain after using a mouse on my lenovo g580. The owl pillow looks like a really cute way to ease the pain. Can I use other fillings like rice or beans as an alternative?
