DIY Scrappy Hearts
| |Unstructured sewing is the perfect way to fill gaps between bigger projects. If you sew one or two of these scrappy hearts here and there, before you know it, you will have enough for a pretty garland.
Scrappy hearts make great ornaments, Valentine’s Day gifts, or door hangers. Top a wrapped packed with a heart and you’ve taken the gift to the next level!
We love the idea of incorporating stamped words on fabric bits. What a perfect way to personalize each heart! Manuscrap demonstrates stitching paper hearts as a fun variation.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- assorted fabric scraps
- colored felt
- paper-backed fusible
- alphabet stamp set with ink
- basic sewing supplies
Grab your fabric scraps, base fabric or felt, fusible webbing, and bits of trim, and let your imagination take over. Bet you can’t stop with just one! In fact, Shabby Art Boutique shows us how to make a perfectly coordinated batch.
