For the limb, take the chenille stem and fold it in half, twisting to hold it together, leaving the open end loose about an inch or so, to bend the branches up. Hold the chenille stem on the front of the owl between the body and the tail. With a scrap piece of yarn and a tapestry needle, sew six stitches over branch, attaching it to owl body, leaving a space halfway between stitches.. three on each side to look like the claws of the owl.
