Here is a quick and easy project to spiff your space up for Valentines Day plus give it a bit of a springy feel (and smell too).
First I made a pattern out of card stock....you remember...just like we did in grade school ...fold the paper in half and cut and then open it up. :)
I then folded my fabric right sides together and then traced around the heart with a pencil.
Not wanting to sew and then have to turn the fabric inside out I choose to use my pinking sheers to cut out the hearts.I pinned them and added a ribbon on the inside for the ones I wanted to hang....on my cool white tree that I got for a dollar last summer....just had to brag a bit. :)
Anyhow..
I sewed around the edges leaving a space open to add the stuffing...
Stuffed them with lavender seed and poly-fill...then sewed up the hole.
They seemed a little plain so I hand sewed a button on each side....Done! :)
For the banner I simply cut slits to thread the ribbon through.
Here they are down in my space at Viking Village....
Just what it needed!
Told ya they were easy to make!
