In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn techniques and tricks for creating darling little owl beads, with feather cane wings… as well as a time-worn faux leather book bead… a stamped metal charm… and a charm hanger and clasp to put the whole thing together. The ideas and techniques can not only be used for this particular necklace design, but for many other polymer clay and jewelry projects as well.

Hi Cindy and Doug! I Just want to start off by saying Thank You for all the time and effort you spend in the making all of these wonderful video tutorials. They have made such a difference in the quality of the things I make... had so much fun with the owls, they were actually the first project I made from your tutes.

While I have been using Cindy's Owl tute for jewelry, I also placed a little owl in a tree on a memorial votive candle made for a friend who lost a son way too early. His birthday is coming up soon and mom wanted a votive candle to light in his memory. Owls had a special meaning for her son, so this was appropriate. 


~Michelle-L


Great tutorial! I loved seeing the Owl in person when you came to Oregon... so cute. And now a tutorial. Thanks again. I always learn so much from you. 


~Cindy-P


We have an owl living behind the house, and you can hear him/her in the evenings. Cindy I really enjoyed this project... just perfect to make some wise old owls. And my grandkids love the book beads. They make great gifts for teachers. Love it! Thank you and Doug once again for a great set of tutorials.


~Peggy-B


My daughter loves owls. I am so excited to learn how to make them.


~Terri-B


I just love Cindy's tutorials. They are helpful for anyone/everyone with an interest in polymer clay. Cindy's sunny personality and knowledge is wonderful and amazing. I eagerly look forward to what she comes up with next. Each series is always chalked full of great tips and techniques you can apply to any project.

It will probably sound kinky, but the best thing about your videos is watching your hands. I can read descriptions of how to do things, but it makes SO much more sense when I can see you do it. Of course your verbal description really helps too, but I love being able to SEE you work. Thanks so much.


~Beth-W


Whenever we visit my mom, each of us brings a project to teach and put together. Some are simple and some more difficult. These little owl charms are a perfect addition for their necklaces. Thanks so much for all your efforts and hard work to bring these tutorials to us.


~Karonkay-C


Cindy, Thank you so much for your help. I love the owl charm project and am so glad I joined up with you. My granddaughter loves owls! Thanks again.


~Sherry-C


Just watched the amazing owl series. Loved it and liked the updated method of making the book bead (which is one of my favourite charms for copper book marks). It is so nice to think that Cindy always finds better ways to do things and then even better ways to update them. So a BIG thank you Cindy.


~Elaine-F


Loved this tut! I can just see a wise old owl sitting on a book on one of the jar lids already.


~Cheryl-B


LOVE THIS!! LOVE THIS!! I saw the owl in a recent video you did and thought, I sure hope she makes a tute for that cute thing! YAY! 


~Christine-H


So cute. Another one to add to my collection.


~Sandra-J


I love owls! I collect the carved ones and have embroidered large portraits of them. Thank you Cindy for a wonderful tute on this amazing bird. 


~DixieAnn-S


My Mother had an owl poem hanging in our kitchen when we were kids. And every time we got too noisy, she would point to the poem... "A wise old bird sat in an oak; the more he saw the less he spoke; the less he spoke the more he heard; why can't we be like that wise old bird?" We always got the message :) 


~DixieAnn-S


Oh Dixie, I will make a wall hanging for my daughter so she can have her kids read that poem too, when they get a little loud. She always refers to the inside voice kids. If you want to get loud, go outside and then you can use your outside voice. I much prefer your little poem. Like you, I love owls. 


~Peggy-B


I love that little poem, Dixie Ann... can't wait to start making little owls. There's always room at my house for one more. 


~Monique-U


I love owls too Dixie Ann - I used to collect owl stuff when I was in high school, but after we lost our home to fire, I never had the heart to start again. But I still love them! Cindy your owl is awesome. And the way you did his eyes, caught my attention right away. The cane is cool too. 


~Sherry-L


I just got home from a long, fantastic weekend of ministry and sat down to watch this owl series. I just finished watching the first video and had to stop and tell you how fantastic this is. I kept saying this is sooo cool, and I'm only on the wing, lol! Anyhoo, back to the videos. Thank you.


~Michelle-A


After reading Cindy's write up about owls, I got more curious about the one that visits the top of the tallest weeping Spruce tree near my window. Turns out, it's a barn owl, all white and grey reflecting in our street lights. Cutest thing, just about a foot tall.


~Jocelyn-C


Owls are special creatures and evoke feelings of awe within us when we see them - so it isn’t any wonder that sometimes we feel the need to add these darling birds to our accessorizing.


~Michele-L


I loved this tut! I've got so many projects lined up, that I can't decide which one's to do first! Lol! You have really gotten me going, with clay everywhere now. And for the first time in months, my pasta machine really needs cleaning! That is so exciting guy's! Take care, you and yours!


~Joy-D


Thanks again Cindy for another great tutorial, love the owl and book charms and can see so many possibilities with them for my beaded bookmarks.


~Kay-B


Cindy, I have been buying a few back issues here and there to get various techniques, like in this Owl Charm Volume. But of course, there is always something else that I would love to learn that is part of a different back issue. Thanks for all that you do.


~Beth-W


Great tutorial. I learned so much. Thank you.


~Melodie-F


I saw a sneak peek of the owls in your last video, and was hoping to see how they are made! Your paid video series are worth every penny!


~Janice-G


I did a Craft Fair at our local Church Hall, and made your cute little Owls as tree decorations (sold all twelve). As my theme was birds, I also designed a fabric Owl perched on a Cinnamon Quill, like he was sitting on a swing. Thank you for this tutorial, Cindy.


~Elaine-F


Cindy, I love it when you make little critters, miniatures, animals, etc. Whether you're creating them into beads or making them into something else, it is SO MUCH FUN to see you making these little guys!!! I hope you do more!! 


~Sherry-L


I absolutely loved this tutorial. First thing I've made since last November when I fell ill. I couldn't work my clay. This little owl has inspired me to get creative again. I would love to see more sculpture techniques in the future. Awesome work!


~Brenda-M


Love your owl videos!!! Cindy, you are one awesome clay artist!!!


~Ruthie-B


I took a class on stamping at my local bead store, but learned so much more here, with your "owl necklace" video tutorial series. Glad that I joined. Cindy, I tell my friends about you all the time. 


~Marilyn-P


How CUTE the little owl is!!! I see book markers in my near future. Cindy - so glad you included how to make the charming (pun intended, LOL) holder too. Your tutes are so complete - from start to finish. A finished, professional looking end result. Thank you so much for all your whole family gives to all of us.
