Step 1
I modified this tutorial on how to crochet a flat circle in order to get the sized belly I wanted on my owl.

Step 2
I then lined the outer edge with a single row of crocodile stitch.

Step 3
The strap almost killed me! I had some serious mental breaks when it came to trying not to be too overly OCD about the colors, which ones I used together and which ones would match up. But it turned out wonderful in the end! I made 30 circles and joined them all back to back to thicken the strap.
Take my word for it - one layer of circles is NOT enough, and they will bend, cup and fold unless you back them well. -
Step 4
I attached the strap via two metal rectangle rings, which I crocheted with brown to double as the ear tufts on his owly head!
