Assembly & Use

After sewing on the eyes and nose and trimming the hair, position the owl where you'd like to store your glasses. The holder is designed to sit flat on a surface and cradle your glasses; place your glasses gently against the owl so the frame and temples rest securely. This makes it easy to grab them when needed and keeps them from getting scratched when set down.

Care & Tips

• Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent and reshape while damp. Lay flat to dry.
• Customize the color scheme to match your decor or make multiple holders as gifts.
• Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds when working in the round.
• If you prefer a firmer holder, you can experiment with a slightly smaller hook or tighter tension to reduce stretch.
