hearty xx

I'm sure you've seen these hanging hearts in paper.

I thought maybe you'd like to try some in fabric.

They are fairly quick to make and the more

you make the better they look.

Cut a heart template to the size you want from cardboard.

Trace around the template onto the paper

 side of applique paper.

Cut roughly around the traced lines .

Following the manufactures instructions for the paper

press the paper to the wrong side of your fabric.

You need four heart shapes to make one complete heart

and they don't all need to be the same .

Cut your heart shapes neatly on the traced lines.

Before removing the paper fold your hearts

in half and finger press to make a centre crease.

Remove the paper and start pressing your hearts

carefully to join them.

Make sure you are only pressing two halves at a time.

Work your way around using all four heart shapes.

When your heart is all done you can then thread some

invisible thread through with some buttons and beads .

Please forgive the dodgy photos and I really

wish Booger would stop putting those silly frames

around everything.

Please let me know if you make some hearts

I'd love to see yours x
