{DIY Teusday} hearts!

1.

Hearts are timeless. A heart is a heart & will always be a heart no matter what is "in" and what is "out". A heart represents love, friendship, affection. You can hang a heart {anywhere}!Add hearts in your bedroom to make it romantic, or in the dining room where you eat dinner with your family-the people you heart! It is so easy to make & you can choose your own fabric!Attach a ribbon, a bow or some sequence and you have a tiny lil heart that showcases your personalitly.

How to make it:
*I have included a template~enlarge this template by 400% and cut out two shapes on fabric. (You may draw your own heart if you wish to do so-in ANY size you like!)
*Pin the hearts with right sides together, stitch around the outer edge, taking 6mm seam allowence and leaving a gap for turning through.
*Snip the seam allowences to stitching at the "v" of the heart. Turn the right side out and fill with polyester. Or....you can fill your lil heart with {lovely lavender}!**Sew up the gap in stitching.
 *Fold a 30cm length of ribbon in half & stitch to the top of the heart to form a 10cm long hanging loop.


Heart template
You can add {anything} to your lil heart, bells, glitter, bows....use your creativity!Make a heart pillow or a heart keyring, make a heart and hang it from a tree in your garden or a windowsill in your office. Whatever you do~put your *{heart}* in it.***
