For Valentine's Day this year, as with every holiday really,
I started from scratch on my decorations.
I typically end up selling everything I make for myself after i use it for one year,
much to my daughter's dismay!
She wants me to keep everything I make :)
I decided to make some easy, fabric hearts with things I had on-hand and some hot glue.
The one in the basket, above, was cut from dropcloth.
It's 2 hearts with cotton balls used as stuffing and hot glue to sew them together.
{That'st the extent of my sewing if I can get away with it!}
You may remember this little rusty glass jar from my Junky Snowmen post.
Instead of a scarf, it's now decorated in dropcloth hearts and twine.
Now it's got a simple white heart cut from a sweater.
For Valentine's Day, I cut 2 hearts, from dropcloth again,
and hot glued some baker's twine on the backs of them.
I used permanent marker to make stitches on the hearts.
One of these, maybe I'll actually pick up a real needle and thread :)
I used cotton balls in this, too, to make it a little puffy.
It's sitting in front a great old suitcase a friend gave me.
I'll show you what I did with that a little later on.
{hint: it just may be another sign!}
(I think they started out as napkins).
It's nestled in a pocket I cut from one of my daughter's old jeans.
Finally, don't forget about the felt heart on my Vintage Typewriter.
If you missed that post, please check it out!
Making hearts is probably one of the easiest things ever.
At least I didn't get too carried away with them in my house.
Or maybe I did, and I'm just not telling! ;)
Let's keep in touch...
Your comments make me smile :) 'Til next time!
