How to make your own upcycled heart christmas decorations....

Sorry we missed you last Monday, Christmas eve was quite a hectic affair!

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas.


Now, before Christmas we promised to show you how to make your own heart upcycled decorations.


They don't have to be for Christmas, you can use any material, ribbon and buttons and make them however big or small you want!

OK so here we go!.........



Firstly draw on a sheet of paper a heart shape and cut out two. Pin them onto your fabric.....





Cut around your paper pattern hearts until you have two fabric hearts.....




Place the hearts with the right sides together and sew either by hand or on the machine. Leaving the hole at the top about 2cm wide......





Trim the excess around the stitching......





Turn your heart inside out......





Stuff your heart with old cushion filler or toy filler, which you can get from any good haberdashery store...





Hand stitch the opening of your heart .......






Pin some ribbon in a loop shape to the centre of the heart......




Hand sew a button in the centre of your heart......



Ta dah! up cycled decorations! For any occasions not just for Christmas!
