Valentine's Day will be with us soon and this is a perfect project to get you going.
Today, I decided to die cut some red hearts out of the fabulous wool blend felt that I showed you a couple of weeks ago. The result was that I felt inspired too and I made this heart hanging to kick off the Valentine makes. So much better than a card that ends up in the bin.
Items from Craft Fairy that I used:
Red wool blend die cut hearts
Buttons from the nursery mix
9mm red gingham
I started by sewing three buttons to one side of the heart. I used white buttons and red thread.
Quickly followed by blanket stitch in white, around 3/4 of the outside edge of the heart. This is then stuffed with any suitable stuffing. I used kapok because I have some. Stuffing from old pillows works fine too.
Pin the ribbon in position and finish stitching around the edge and there you have it a pretty scandi chic hanging heart.
